Morlocking 

The process of using guile and cunning to attract members of the opposite sex to you who are far more attractive then yourself. The term is based on the race of devolved humans in H.G Wells' sci-fi fantasy The Time Machine, know as Morlocks, who live underground and on occasion climb to the surface to snatch one of the beautiful Eloi.

The term first appeared in conversation between Robert K Walker and Nicolas Costello in 2003 when pissed up on wine.
Nick- Emma is out tonight
Rob- Pfft. She's well out of your league
Nick- I know. She might need some Morlocking

Moloch is the personification of terrible systems or situations in society that everyone hates but don't get fixed.

Originally the name of a Canaanite god which received child sacrifices, Allen Ginsberg used Moloch to symbolize the state of industrial civilization in his poem "Howl".

The blogger Scott Alexander popularized the term as it is commonly used by many rationalists, although it was already in occasional use by historians and economics to describe systemic issues within or caused by their respective fields.

The term is often used by particularly condescending rationalists to talk down to public servants, academics, and occasionally founders of startups who are trying their best to change the world for the better but likely have no real power to do so.
Very often with capitalism, business practices are set by Moloch: No one person has any influence over the matter.

Oh, you're in welfare policy research? I thought Moloch had already eaten all the value there.

Morlocking 

Missing school for an extended period of time and not completing any school work.
Omg that guy’s been smashed like 10 times this week and hasn’t been to school in the longest. Holy fuck, he’s morlocking.

Molochracy 

A form of government run entirely by one or more Molochs. The Molochs control the media, fund corrupt politicians, and run the banking institutions. Only those who are truly deranged are capable of uttering the word aloud, and only they can interpret what a moloch is saying.
Rick Santorum: "I don't apologize for the Iranian people being free for a long time, and now they're under a Molochracy that tramples the rights of women, tramples the rights of gays ..."

Morlock crackfiend 

The faceless moron who ruins things for the productive people on the surface with incomprehensibly illogical rules; regional manager. Resides in a subterranean world in which crack is smoked incessantly, and policy is written whilst under the influence of crack.
Business was running smoothly until the morlock crackfiend imposed the hiring policy. Now all the new hires are brainless, useless Eloi people.
A dumb blind retarded ape-like creature that loves to chow on human flesh and lives in a far future. They descended from the humans who are shoved up into underground world by catastrophic events and became so primitive that their brains decreased in size, causing them to munch on Eloi flesh as well as taking turtby the river, themselves being retarders by showing younger Morlocks how to live like they do including pick'n bugs and eat'n them from their partners as well as throwing shit at each other for fun.
Person 1: "Man, that Morlock threw shit at my face!"

Person 2: "That's gay! Now that Morlock is going to bite into your arm!"
