Member of the coolest ever religious heresy who basically believed in situationism, who got burned at the stake and who we only know about through some really messed-up church accusations (their own books were burned). In the Middle Ages, of course. It's a shame they aren't still around.
I wanted to put "Amaurian" as my religion on my census form, but my parents wouldn't let me.
I'm sorry, I can't go to work today. Or any day. Wage slavery is against my religion as an Amaurian.

homo erectus is a predecessor of modern humans. Members of this species had tools made of hard wood. They stored them inside orifices. And they spent most of their time impaling things with their long rods.
They used to grunt a lot, especially while impaling things. They drew graffiti on cave walls showing them trying to mount and stick their poles in horses and other animals.

Term used by psychoanalysts, especially Lacanians, for the eruption into social life of impulses or phenomena which have been repressed from the symbolic order in the process of the formation of a master-signifier. The excluded element is not destroyed but returns in a form which is incomprehensible and terrifying. A "return of the Real" is a sudden eruption and interruption which spectacularly reveals the contingency of social relations and shatters fixed certainties.
For instance, Slavoj Zizek analysed September 11th as a "return of the Real": the repressed fundamentalist impulse which was the hidden outcome of the US's own activities produced an explosive and terrifying result which rocked people's identities and the existing political framework.

A reworking of the return of the repressed.
Doesn't make as much sense outside Lacanian ontology, because the violence and negativity of the "return of the Real" are crucial to its use as a concept. One can reconfigure it to some extent if one suggests that the social order makes its own Real, so that the phrase "return" is simply figurative.

A insult fifty-year-old white ladies use because they don't know it actualy means bitch. They think that Biatch means "Biatch" and have too much cocaine in their system to realize it means "Bitch".
