Associative Theocratic Oligarchy 

The hierarchical structure isn't the problem it's that frauds and charlatans aggregate at the top and them bottle-neck the hierarchy in various places in accordance with their ethic. Because you only need to be so competent and I'm friends with this guy and not you.

Hym "The problem is that it's an Associative Theocratic Oligarchy. You're trying to do the same thing they are, just in reverse. 'BuT wE'lL rUlE wItH a GeNtLeR hAnD' and selectively cancel anyone who violates your ethic. In the exact same way. Unless you prove otherwise. In the same way that the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend; The lesser of two evils is still just evil."

Associative Fugue 

Not to be confused with dissociative fugue, a period of disconnection from real life brought on by trauma (an example being Renée Zellweger's character in Nurse Betty, who blocks out a murder she witnesses by believing herself part of a hospital drama playing on TV).

Basically the same as a wiki-hole but allowing for other sites, like YouTube or TV Tropes - a state of mental distancing from the here and now brought on by clicking so many links related to what you were looking up that by the time you've made it back to reality you can't remember what you came in for and dinner's ruined.

"I had a massive associative fugue last night. I was looking up something on youtube about dangerous snakes and found myself an hour and a half later watching clips from A Fish Called Wanda."

associative girlfriend

Your girlfriends' best friend who's basically the third person in your relationship and not in a weird cockblocking sort of way she just fits among you and girlfriend and you couldn't imagine your relationship without her in it because she's not just girlfriends' friend... She's yours too. She drinks with you when girlfriend doesn't want to. She goes and eats with girlfriend when you're on a diet. She takes girlfriend to target when you don't want to go. She is an associative girlfriend and your favorite third wheel.

Example 1
Girlfriend:I'm hungry lets go eat allll the foods

You: no go call associative girlfriend I'm on a diet

Associative Aura 

The loss of aura as a result of being involved or linked with someone who has highly concentrated aura.

Associative aura can be as a result of poor actions/lack of confidence of the main individual, resulting in their aura to only be rarely prevalent as their friend radiates a lot more than them.

Ivo suffers from associative aura because he hangs out with his friend Alain who has immense aura. How sad.
