| 15. | Mickey Gilley effect | ||
|
This refers to what is otherwise referred to as "beer goggles" -- the tendency for males to perceive girls in a barroom to get prettier towards closing time; so-called because country singer Mickey Gilley recorded a song with the title "Don't the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time" succinctly describing this phenomenon. Heather looked much better as 1 A.M. rolled around, as compared to how she looked at 10 P.M.; this is the result of the old Mickey Gilley effect in action!

The belief that one can do, see, feel, or think things that others cannot. This ability or knowledge usually contradicts the status quo, and is held in contempt by mainstream perspectives. It is especially prevalent among political radicals, conspiracy theorists, religious fundamentalists, and schizophrenics. Example 1
Economist, PhD: "...In conclusion, once we control for all of these factors and apply this principle, we can get a good idea how -" Person with Yoda Complex: "WE DON'T NEED CONTROLS! ALL WE NEED IS THE AXIOM OF HUMAN ACTION, AND ALL ELSE CAN BE KNOWN!!!!" Example 2 Person 1: When I was talking to Johnny earlier, he was convinced that he had the key to the universe. He said that a very important person gave it to him. I looked in his hand, and it was empty. Person 2: Was he trying to make a statement? Person 1: No, I think he either has schizophrenia or a severe Yoda complex. |

Wayne is now rumored to be engaged with Lauren London. Rap foundation Wayne's first contact with hip-hop was listening to local Cash Money Records artists like Pimp Daddy and U.N.L.V., whom he would later credit as his earliest influences. Wayne began rapping at block parties as a child. His performance at one of the parties caught the ear of Lil Slim, a Cash Money rapper from the neighborhood, who gave Lil Wayne his phone number. He went to an autograph-signing session with Lil Slim, and there met Cash Money Records owners, "Baby" and "Slim" Williams.

| 18. | Fuckology | ||
|
Derived from "fuck all" meaning absolutely nothing, i.e. 'fuck-all-ogy'.
A pejorative combination used in or of academia, especially sociology studies. Exemplified by the creation or synthesizing of theory or methodological frameworks, e.g. citing pretentious complex language to explain simple social phenomena in order to seem legitimate. Not to be confused with the science of sex (of “fucking” as it were). For example, a doctor of fuckology meaning "a doctorate in absolutely nothing of any value". The word later made its way into porn industry via the title by either a secondary meaning or misappropriation; 'Babyface and the Fuckologist'. The word fuckology seems to have come about because of a sense of inadequacy in the arts and social sciences towards "real" sciences. Notably used in the intro to The Sex Pistols 1977 version of Iggy Pop's No Fun.
"Here we go now, a sociology lecture, with a bit of psychology, a bit of neurology, a bit of fuck-all-ogy (fuckology), no fun ..." |
