Will it blend? 

To ask "Will it blend?" is to question whether something is feasible, practical, or realistic.

This interrogative relative to "passing muster" is based in the internet phenomenon created by Blendtec founder Tom Dickson, as previously defined.
Adam: I have a theory that the universe is actually contained in a wormhole on the back of a turtle.

Bob: But will it blend? No -- it won't, because you can't test that! It's not even a theory if you can't test it!

intertubulism 

A figure of speech originating from within the internet, or intertubes, that is not easily translated or understood from outside the context of the intertubes.

Adam: QFT!

Bob: What's that?

Adam: That's an intertubulism for a show of support, "quoted for truth."

A telebureaucracy typically consists of:

1. An automated system operated by keypad entries or infuriatingly poor voice recognition,

2. One or more operators trained to treat you like the stupidest person on earth, and

3. Specialists whose job it is to direct you to a different unit or organization at a different phone number or otherwise indicate your problem is unsolvable.
