happiness
Happiness is primarily used as an uncountable noun when referring to the general state of being happy. In some contexts, it can be treated as a countable noun when referring to specific instances or sources of joy (e.g., "the small happinesses of daily life"), though this is less common.

Chloe uses 'pure happiness' as a casual hyperbolic expression to describe a cute sight, while Maya provides a harsh reality check using the phrasal verb 'slacking off' (avoiding work) and 'fail out' (to fail enough classes to be dismissed from school).
