entropy 

In its simplest sense, the tendency for all things to go from order towards disorder. It is like the one way sign for energy flows in this Universe.

The best example is a hot cup of coffee. You walk into a coffee shop and check your pockets that yes, you do indeed have some coin of the realm that you spent time and energy to acquire somewhere else. This coin is therefore concentrated time and energy or effort. You then walk up to the counter and order (key word here) a hot cup of coffee. The Barrista, who has an understanding of what you want, then reaches for a cup that someone spent time and effort making, and someone made an effort to clean. He then pours in this fluid that contains pure (hopefully) water that has been heated (we pay the power company for the heat) and poured over these magic beans that came from far away, with many people involved with ships and trucks burning fuel so that these beans could arrive here. This cup of coffee is indeed a highly ordered structure in the Universe. But today, instead of drinking it, we are going to perform an experiment. If we let the cup of coffee sit on the table long enough, say 30 minutes, what happens? It gets cold. The heat energy that we paid for is no longer concentrated in the cup. It still exists, but in the room not in the cup. This is a gain in entropy. If we let the cup of coffee sit there long enough, say 4 days, we notice that some of the water that we paid for has evaporated. It still exists as water vapor in the room (probably attacking the wallpaper) but not in the cup. This too, is a gain in entropy. By this time the Barrista will probably come along to kick us out, after all we've been here 4 days and haven't actually drank any coffee. If he does kick us out then he will have to clean the cup, spending time and energy and hot water, to bring the cup back up to a useful higher energy state, ready for the next customer. This would be an example of negative entropy. But he had to spend more energy elsewhere to accomplish this.
But let's say he doesn't kick us out. If we are still sitting here watching the cup in about 30 years when the building falls over, breaking the cup, then this too is a gain in entropy.
I am one of the few people on the planet to tell you that negative entropy = life (localized), in thermodynamics this would appear in an equation as -Δs (pronounced minus delta s).

Domestic Entropy 

The tendency of a household to became increasingly disorganized, untidy, and unmanagable.

Characteristics:
Rather than compress into small spaces, items tend to redistribute to evenly fill all available space (the Stuffed Animal Effect). Rather than organize into separate, homogeneous, classifiable and finite collections, items tend to mix into heterogenous open sets (the Junk Drawer Effect). Even if they are not used, without intervention items and surfaces inevitably get dirtier and not cleaner (the Crunchy Towel Effect). Partially enclosed items left unobserved for an extended period will, when retrieved for use, contain one or more dead bugs (the Cuisinart Effect). Attempts to organize specific areas will always result in some other area becoming less organized (the Spare Linen Effect).

The tendency of the household toward randomness is a feedback cycle. Disorganization leads to perceived attrition which leads to aquisition of additional items, which in turn increase the Domestic Entropy of the household (the Nine Rolls of Sticky Tape Effect).

I'm in a constant battle against domestic entropy; if I miss my chores one night before bedtime, by the next morning the house is so messy it would be easier to burn it down and build anew than to get it clean again.

En Taro 

This phrase comes for the RTS PC Game, Starcraft. It is a phrase that is used by the Protoss race that is commonly used at the beginning and/or the end of a meeting pertaining to serious Protoss issues by members that have a high status in Protoss society (e.g., members of the Protoss Conclave). It is a way to greet your fellow Protoss or bid them farewell.

In the original Starcraft, meetings would often begin with the phrase En Taro Adun, although the use of this phrase was not limited to meetings. Adun was a legendary figure in Protoss history, who rid the Protoss homeworld of Aiur of the Dark Templar. Later, in the expansion set, Brood War, the phrase En Taro Tassadar would also be employed, after Tassadar sacrificed himself to destroy the Zerg Overmind.

Most likely, the phrase En Taro roughly means "Hail," "Glory to," or "In Honor of," much like the Nazis during WWII would greet each other with "Hail Hitler" or "Sieg Geil" (Hail Victory). The phrase En Taro is always followed by the name of a glorious Protoss hero that accomplished something extraordinary. The use of the phrase itself invokes pride, courage and hope. Sometimes when the phrase is used to end a conversation, it seems to be another way to say, "Godspeed."

"En Taro Adun, Executor. There is no time to waste. We must join our bretheren in battle!"

En Taro Adun

1. Protoss phrase meaning "In honor of Adun." Adun was a Templar during the Aeon of Strife, who was ordered by The Conclave to exile the Dark Templar, those who rejected the Khala. Instead, he attempted to teach the Dark Templar how to follow the Khala. Unfortunately, the Dark Templar lacked the training that the other Templar had, and psionic storms raged across Aiur as a result. Furious, The Conclave branded Adun a traitor, and attempted to kill him along with the Dark Templar. Adun sacrificed himself to save the Dark Templar. Now, the Dark and Khala Templar refer to Adun as a noble figure, hence the greeting, "En Taro Adun!" Also used as a battle cry.

Slipping Into Entropy

A Batman/Joker Slash Fanfiction on livejournal by the authors Razothredfire and Loonylucifer. It is possibly the most incredible and amazing Joker/Batman fanfic out there. It is long but that just makes it better.

roomie 1: What is she doing on the computer? She has this big goofy grin plastered on her face.

roomie 2: Shes reading Slipping Into Entropy.

roomie 1: oh, the Batman/Joker fanfiction? *rolls eyes* fangirls...

Girl: *squee!* this is an amazing read so shut up!

Inevitable Internet Entropy Theory 

The theory that given time everything on the Internet will devolve into poor quality content designed to drive advertisement revenue through clickbait, stolen, and/or inflammatory content.

To see evidence of the Inevitable Internet Entropy theory one need look no further than once-lauded sites as The Huffington Post, Slate, and Time.
