Innocent Byproduct's definitions
A shower you take super fast where you run into the bathroom, then you start spinning round and round in the middle of the bathroom floor, shedding your clothes in all directions as fast as you can. Then you jump into the shower where you start spinning round and round under the water getting clean as fast as possible. Then you jump out of the shower and dry off as fast as possible in the middle of the bathroom floor, and at the same time you are spinning round and round trying to get your feet dried on the floor mat by repeatedly wiping your feet onto the mat as you are spinning. Then you run into the bedroom and grab the new clean outfit you have picked out, and spin round and round getting it all onto your body as fast as possible.
The name is a direct allusion to a gimmick from the old 1970s "Wonder Woman" TV show starring Lynda Carter where the character of Diana Prince (the alias of Wonder Woman) would find a private place to spin around like a top, and then her regular clothes would get magically replaced by her Wonder Woman costume.
The term was coined in the early 2020s by a YouTube diet guru named Doctor Annette Bosworth, MD (aka Dr. Boz). She says she is very busy running four businesses, so she is often forced to take what she calls a "Wonder Woman shower" most days of the week, and then she explained what such a shower entails.

USE IN A SENTENCE: I had only 20 minutes to get to work, so I ran home and took a Wonder Woman shower, spinning around all over the place tearing my clothes off, spinning under the water, and then running around my room getting dressed in a whirlwind.

Some critics of law enforcement claim that some instances of an alleged CHS are a mere fabrication, and there never was an actual human who provided the information. These critics claim that in such cases where the law enforcement agents fabricated the CHS did so as justification for a search warrant or other similar legalities of an investigation.

A term coined in March 2023 by Silicon Valley engineers, Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, to describe a new and emerging class of Artificial Intelligence: "Generative Large Language Multi-Modal Model," or GLLMM ("Gollem" for short). This new class of AI uses predictive algorithms to creatively generate new and original output, including music, artwork, poems, etc.
The word comes from a creature in ancient Jewish folklore called the "golem," a clay sculpture brought to life by magic, and employed as a helper of the Jewish people. But the golem always had the potential to turn against its masters. The legend aptly captures the precarious extremes of societally-benefitting good and existential evil presented by this new AI.
They introduced the term in their March 2023 video lecture "The A.I. Dilemma." Their main thesis was to compare this new and emerging AI with the established dangers of "societal entanglement" that older AI technology has already achieved via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. They explained that first generation of AI --called "curation AI"-- has both helpful and harmful impacts on society. And now this next generation of AI --called "creation AI"-- has even greater potential to be even more helpful and even more harmful. They are calling for legislation to control the usage of all forms of the new Gollem-Class AI before it become so deeply embedded in the workings of society that its inevitable entanglement can't ever be untangled.

Because Chat GPT and Bard are both predictive-language programs, capable of generating entirely original works of creativity, they fall under the umbrella of what Harris and Raskin are now calling "Gollem-Class AIs."

Once the UFO is in the water, it is then classified as a USO, or an Unidentified Submerged Object. Conceivably, a transmedium craft can (by definition) likewise pass from the air and into outer space, and also pass through other permeable substances as lava, mud, or sand. However, virtually 100% of all accounts of transmedium behavior have described transmedium craft as passing back and forth between air and water.
Witnesses who have seen transmedium craft passing from air to water and (vice versa) universally claim the craft they saw made the transition from one medium to the other smoothly, seamlessly (neither accelerating nor decelerating), and exhibited no degree of compensation or recalibration to its velocity or trajectory.

The passengers on the yacht all looked up and beheld a UFO flying across the sky above the open sea. It seemed at first to the onlookers to be heading downward into what they assumed would be a controlled crash or a water landing. But then they saw the UFO pierce the water and disappear beneath the surface, proving itself to be a transmedium craft.

Get the transmediummug. The term "E.R. Car" is used to illustrate how much money a trip to a local hospital emergency room (local E.R.) will cost. So if the typical price of a car runs anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 for a used car, and then anywhere from $30, 000 to $70,000 for a new car, then it is not unreasonable, in today's American healthcare environment, to equate the price of one car to the cost of one emergency room visit.
A similar term is "E.R. House," used to describe the cost of emergency room care for a truly catastrophic medical situation where the price of just one emergency room visit equates to the price of a buying a house.

"I got taken to the emergency room in an ambulance, and after all the x-Rays, all the blood work, all the CT scans and after consulting with four different specialists, the emergency room sent me home and then billed me for over $45,000. That was my first ever E.R. Car in my whole life, and I hope it was my last."

Most sightings of USOs have been by people while at sea, especially naval personnel. But less common sighting involve USOs emerging from or entering inland bodies of water such as lakes and rivers. The eyewitness accounts of USOs entering and exiting water describe the undertaking as seamless and virtually effortless on the part of the craft, which neither slows down nor compensates in any way when passing form one medium to the next.
Because USOs exhibit the ability to travel through both air and water, they are referred to as being "transmedium craft."

The seaman looked down from the rail of the ship and saw a large shape moving quickly through the ocean waters below, and so he at first thought he was seeing a strange-shaped whale. But then when it *swam* up out of the water and into the air, covered with lights, and zoomed off into the clouds, that's when he realized he had just seen a USO.

Get the USOmug. A phenomenon in mob psychology where a large group spontaneously joins into a monolithic, like-minded alliance with a sole purpose. The alliance is neither deliberate nor planned, but results from the powerful human instinct to protect the community.
While traditional mob psychology focuses on how crowds become instantly disorderly and chaotic, mass formation theory demonstrates how crowds become instantly orderly and unified. The word "formation" is used to invoke the image of a flight formation of fighter jets: the jets move in perfect "formation" with each other, as if they are one.
Mass formations can be either positive or negative.
POSITIVE EXAMPLES -- A mob can spontaneously unite during a momentary crisis (fire, earthquake, etc) becoming a powerful force for combatting the crisis, and/or saving those imperiled by the crisis. Examples include a bucket brigade fighting a fire, or a human chain of people attempting to rescue someone who fell through thin ice.
NEGATIVE EXAMPLES -- A mob can join into a silent, angry wall of (temporarily) wordless and (temporarily) motionless hostility against a solitary individual. This community-wide anger can culminate with an entire village acting in a blind fury to punish, banish, or execute the offender.
Some Hollywood films included scenes with mass formations.
POSITIVE SCENES: "It's a Wonderful life," "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,"
NEGATIVE SCENES: "Home Alone," "Angels and Demons," "Game of Thrones."
