hypostatic union 

The theological dogma that the Person of Jesus Christ was fully God and fully Man. This holds that Christ's humanity and divinity are not mixed, but are united without loss of separate identity. The doctrine of the hypostatic union is an attempt to explain how Jesus could be both God and man at the same time. It is ultimately, though, a doctrine that human minds are incapable of understanding fully. It holds that there is no mixture or dilution of Christ's Human or Divine nature, and that He is one united Person. The doctrine of the hypostatic union was made dogma at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D., in response to the need to clearly define the Church's position in the face of heretical teachings, and further articulated at the fifth general council at Constantinople in 533 A.D. The latter council declared that the union of two natures is real (against Arius), not a mere indwelling of God in a man (against Nestorius), with a rational soul (against Apollinaris), and that in Christ’s divine nature remains unchanged (against Eutyches).
Doctrines which stand in opposition to the doctrine of the hypostatic union include: Docetism, Arianism, Apollinarianism, Ebionism, Eutychianism, and Nestorianism. The Church eventually declared all of these doctrines heresies by the end of the Sixth Century A.D.

Hypocritical 

To do one action/ say something/ practise a way of life then be offended/insulted/ protest when others do the same (to you).
When Courtney takes joy in pouring water on the object of her affection/ boredom's top to make her unwittingly enter into a wet T shirt contest but protests when that same person does/ attempts to do the same to her. That makes her hypocritical.

Hypocritical Feminist

A woman that uses her elevated position in combination with a fake and unchallenged, “feminist stance” for her own selfish gains. She does not help other women or society, more generally. Therefore, her brand of “feminism” could be more harmful to women than misogyny.
Blanca was fucking her own (male) graduate student advisee at the same time she was working on campus legislation against fraternization, publicly. Other male professors were fired for similar offenses, but she got away with it because she played the feminist card. She is a hypocritical feminist.

Lynn is such a hypocritical feminist! She says she fights for women, but she steals work from her female direct reports all the time.

Hypocriticism 

n. Colorful commentary, typically unhelpful advice, offered by a person guilty of making the same mistakes.
When my alcoholic father tells me, "You know, you really shouldn't drink so much," I always make sure to thank him for his hypocriticism.

hippocratical 

A belief system of Anesthesiologists that refuse to enforce Capital Punishment. A combination of the hippocratic oath taken by physicians and the word, hippocritical. A term coined by the great Stephen Colbert, in reference to the anesthesiologists that refused to assist in the execution of a convited rapist and murderer.
"Those sum bitches Anesthesiologists are so hippocratical, they wouldn't know truthiness if it came up and bite them like a bear. And that's the word."
