Gelatinous cube
Hym "They're like a gelatinous cube. They engulfed us."
Iam "Heh, I suppose we need to use an instant or a sorcery card to get ourselves out"
Hym "Ha! I suppose we do! But if they're running blue/black they probably have a bunch of counter cards."

Ramping
In the Magic the Gathering community this word means "Cards that add mana to increase the speed of your development". This can include Creatures, Artifacts, and Tokens.
Iam "See how the left is ramping up in response to the Florida shit?"
Hym "Yep... *Sips smoothie*... See how that works?"
Iam "Did we not tell them that's how it works?"
Hym "Everyone has been telling everyone how it works for thousands of years... They don't listen because they already have a thing that they believe and cognitive dissonance is a thing that exists..."
Iam "Hmmm.... We should have drank the smoothie faster..."
Hym "Yeah..... Mmm..."

Evidence
Some guy "Oy guvnah weah is yo evidunce?"
Hym "It's (The evidence) rattling around in the craniums of the people doing the same exact thing you're doing. So, you need me to peel one of them open and dig around to see if I find any?"
Iam "Stop... He's kidding. I'm sorry. I mean, you just did the thing. My initial assertion was that people were doing the thing your doing. If you're doing it then why do you think other people wouldn't?"

Deconstructing
Easy... Unless (of course) the thing you are deconstructing is infinite. In which case, it is infinitely difficult and it takes literally forever.
Iam "This guy is unreal! 'tricking the audience'!? Like how I talked about the the "Attack on titan" writers tricking people into rooting for Hitler!?"
Hym "Hahahaha!!! This guy is hilarious! Listen to this guy! Aaaahahahaha!"
Iam "Stop laughing! Why is this so funny to you?"
Hym "WHY HAVE WE NEVER LISTENED TO THESE INTERVIEWS BEFORE!? HAHAHA HE'S PRETENDING TO BE US! WE'RE THE IDEAL! THESE PEOPLE ARE AT THE HIGHEST ECHELON OF SOCIETY AND THEY ARE PRETEND TO BE US!!! HAAAHAHAHAAAA!!!"
Iam "He admits that he isn't even interested in the thing he's writing about. This is clearly an insult..."
Hym "HE'S RUNNING AROUND IN HOCKEY PADS PRETENDING TO BE BATMAN!"
Iam "Who's character are you deconstructing? Because that's not the Joker"
Hym "Hahahaha!!! This guy is hilarious! Listen to this guy! Aaaahahahaha!"
Iam "Stop laughing! Why is this so funny to you?"

Philosophy
Some guy who needs to stop thinking thoughts I don't want him to think "In practice people who study philosophy too long become very odd birds, not to say thoroughly vicious; while even those who are the best of them are reduced by ... philosophy to complete uselessness as members of society."
Hym "You... You go fuck yourself guy..... Don't call me useless... Prick.."
Iam "Don't say that."
Hym "You shut up."
Iam "Sorry..."
Hym "You... You go fuck yourself guy..... Don't call me useless... Prick.."
Iam "Don't say that."
Hym "You shut up."
Iam "Sorry..."
