moral relativist 

A moral relativist is one with a snarky attitude and bloated sense of self-importance. They can be found loitering about college campus' for years on end in multiple graduate school programs. If you are unfortunate to have one in your freshman philosophy class they will ask "questions" that are not so carefully disguised claims of superiority over the professor and all other students. Often known to despise organized religion and wear anti-religious bigotry on his/her sleeve, while displaying outrage at all other forms of bigotry. They become loud and angry if you point out that such outrage ironically hinges on moral absolutism.
- There is no right and wrong, there is only perception of right and wrong.
- Is that so? Well you won't mind if I do this.
::smacks moral relativist in the mouth::
- OW! Why did you do that?
- I perceived it as the right thing to do during this conversation.

beverage relativist 

A person who has loose standards regarding the naming and preparation of beverages.
The bartender, clearly a beverage relativist, served me Pepsi when I'd definitely asked for a Coke.

Beverage relativists may disagree, but it's clear that some varieties of punch are superior to others.

Theory of Relativist Epistemology

A framework for understanding knowledge as relative to conceptual frameworks, cultural contexts, or epistemic systems—what counts as knowledge in one framework may not in another. Relativist Epistemology doesn't claim that everything is equally true; it claims that truth-claims are evaluated within frameworks, and frameworks themselves are not neutrally comparable. This is often misunderstood as "anything goes," but sophisticated relativism recognizes that frameworks have internal standards, that some are better for some purposes, and that relativism about frameworks doesn't mean relativism about facts within them. It's epistemology that takes diversity of knowing seriously without abandoning judgment.
Theory of Relativist Epistemology "Is mental illness a brain disorder or spiritual crisis? Relativist Epistemology says: it depends on your framework. Both are real ways of understanding; neither is the final truth. The question isn't which is right—it's which framework fits which situation. Relativism isn't giving up on truth; it's recognizing that truth is always truth-within-a-framework."

Theory of Relativist Science

A framework for understanding scientific knowledge as relative to paradigms, frameworks, and contexts—what counts as scientific truth in one paradigm may not in another. Relativist Science doesn't claim that all scientific claims are equally valid; it claims that scientific truth is always truth-within-a-paradigm, and paradigms are not neutrally comparable. Newtonian physics is true within its domain; relativistic physics is true within a broader domain. They're not both true in the same way—they're true relative to their frameworks. Relativist Science studies these framework-relative truths and the transitions between frameworks.
Theory of Relativist Science "Is light a particle or wave? Relativist Science says: it depends on your framework. In some experiments, particle works; in others, wave works. Both are true relative to their domains. Relativism isn't giving up on truth—it's recognizing that truth is always truth-within-a-framework. The question isn't which is really true; it's which framework fits which situation."

Theory of Relativist Sciences

A framework for understanding the plurality of sciences as relative to their frameworks, contexts, and purposes—what counts as good science in one framework may not in another. Relativist Sciences doesn't claim all sciences are equally valid; it claims that scientific validity is always validity-within-a-framework. Newtonian physics is valid within its domain; quantum physics within its. Ecology has its own standards; molecular biology its own. Relativist Sciences studies these framework-relative validities and the relationships between frameworks—how they translate, how they conflict, how they complement.
Theory of Relativist Sciences "Is ecology or molecular biology more scientific? Relativist Sciences says: wrong question. Each is scientific within its own framework, with its own standards. They're not competing; they're complementary. Relativism isn't giving up on rigor—it's recognizing that rigor takes different forms in different contexts. The question isn't which is more scientific; it's which framework fits which question."

airport relatives

People you keep seeing on a trip involving air travel: at check-in, in the security line, at starbucks, waiting at the gate, sitting three rows ahead of you, waiting for baggage claim, etc
See that guy in the flowered shirt? He sat in front of me and farted the whole trip. Yea, I saw him fixing his carry-on with duct tape in the mens room. Are those salt stains on his sweatpants? I think so. Well, you can't choose your airport relatives
