pataphor 

An extended metaphor that creates its own context.

Created by Paul Avion and based on Alfred Jarry's science of 'pataphysics (the science of that which extends beyond metaphysics), a pataphor attempts to create a figure of speech that exists as far from metaphor as metaphor exists from non-figurative language.

Also, when an idea seems to take on a life of its own.

An assumption based on an assumption.

2 degrees of separation from reality.
"When the new teacher snubbed me, I thought it was because I failed the test.

When I learned the teacher hadn't seen me, I realized I had been thinking in pataphor, creating an assumption based on an assumption."

"That's all in your mind, fool; strictly pataphor."

"Because string theory is speculation based on ideas that are themselves speculative (i.e., theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics), quantum calculations are, increasingly, not describing an actual reality, but are mathematical pataphors." See also pataphysics.

Putashuta 

This is the action taken when someone is pissed at someone and wants revenge. All it involves is 2 angry Latinas, a sandal, a strong Latina arm, and a rationalization behind this absolute #galfight starter. This can solely be done by a Latina female, as it involves extreme hand-eye coordination which can be seen on the common pissed-off Latina. One Latina is walking away thinking she just won the argument and that she is the literal shit. The other Latina then takes her sandal and aimlessly chucks the sandal with the goal of hitting the not-so-cool-thinks-she’s-the-shit Latina, preferably in the head or upper ass. This sandal, having been thrown by a pissed-off Latina, will inevitably hit the other girl.
Juanita just found out she’s not invited to margaritas quinceañera. They get into an intense argument when margarita storms off thinking she is the shit. Right then and there, Juanita pulls a putashuta and hits the bitch in the face. Boom. Putashutad.
