A EULA (End User License Agreement) is a contract a manufacturer makes you sign before they let you buy or lease their product. Products that come with a EULA (pronounced "YOO - lah") are high-tech, big-ticket items: cars, cell phones, appliances, etc. EULAs contain do's & don't's for using a product. Violating the EULA will usually void the warranty.
A EULA is not the same as a TOS (Terms of Service Agreement). A TOS is for a service, not a physical object.
Legally, a EULA gives you permission (gives you a "license") to use the product after you buy it. Presumably, the manufacturer can "revoke" that "permission" at any time, and they will do so by remotely shutting down the product (called "bricking" your product), rendering it inoperable.
The language of a typical EULA includes "hold harmless" clauses to protect the manufacturer from lawsuits. Additionally, you will (usually) be agreeing to let the manufacturer gather personal data about you via the product. This includes your locations, shopping habits, medical information, sexual orientation, etc. A EULA will also usually dictate that you resolve disputes via arbitration (not lawsuits), and stipulate that the arbiter will be hired by the manufacturer (so the arbiter works for the manufacturer, and will do as they say).
EULAs will become more common as modern manufacturers move away from the business model of selling things, and embrace the model of leasing things. That way, "you will own nothing and be happy."

I tries to read the EULA (End User License Agreement) that came with my new cell phone, but it was over 30 pages long, so I just gave up and signed it anyway. I hope that by signing it, I didn't agree to anything too crazy.

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.

A term first coined by UFO researcher, Richard Dolan, back in 2010. The term is his description of a particularly wealthy and powerful sub-set of the human race whom he believes have been secretly amassing for themselves exotic and highly advanced technology. Via this hoarding of high tech for themselves (and by keeping it from the rest of the world) these highly-placed elites actually live secret, hidden lives of extreme opulence and leisure. He has even postulated that via this advanced tech, they have built separate cities for themselves, located ether in remote places (such as underground, or on the ocean floor, or within the mountains of Antarctica, etc), or even off world.
The 2013 Matt Damon movie "Elysium" had a similar premise involving a massive, self-sustaining city that orbited the Earth and was the exclusive domain of the very wealthy. The only difference here is that in the movie "Elysium," the titular orbital city was not a secret, but rather its existence was fully known about by all peoples of Earth who could clearly see it orbiting overhead. The city was merely inaccessible to anyone who was not a wealthy elite.

The wealthy elites of the world have built for themselves a breakaway civilization, separate from the rest of the unwashed masse, where they enjoy technology far advanced from what we currently have.

In ufology, a USO is an Unidentified Submerged Object, which is really a UFO spotted traveling under water.
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.

A Confidential Human Source, or CHS, is an informant who covertly provides information to law enforcement about criminals and their activities. Their names are withheld from official law enforcement reports and documents to protect their identities.
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.

In ufology, "non-human biologics" is a term employed by military contractor engaged in crash retrieval, storage, and study of downed UFOs. The term refers to any living (or no longer living) creatures, plants, and microbes discovered in a retrieved UFO. The term usually refers to the presumed pilots of the craft, but actually any living material can be a biologic. The term is critical for the systematic itemization and cataloging of all pieces of debris retrieved from a crash site.
UFO insiders claim that some of the non-human pilots recovered (dead or alive) from crashed UFOs have proven to be what are called "biologic robots," which are basically machines with living flesh incorporated into their construction. Those robots get included in the category of "non-human biologics" by the crash retrieval teams as they sift through the wreckage and start separating and packaging the debris for transport and storage. The two main categories for itemizing each crash site fragment start off as "biologic" and "non-biologic." And from there, myriad sub-categories include such labels as "exotic materials," and "non-human intelligence," to name just a few.
This classification is necessary since all biological material (dead or alive) needs to be subject to preservation efforts (such as climate controlled transport and storage), and also needs to handled with HAZMAT levels of caution to shield the human members of crash retrieval teams from contamination by any incidental pathogens.

The crash retrieval team arrived at the debris field of a crashed UFO and found several non-human biologics in and around the crash site. Most of the non-human biologics were dead, but one was still very much alive, but seriously injured.

In ufology, a term for any "other-worldly" metals, alloys, substances, and artifacts allegedly retrieved by military and intelligence agencies from crashed UFOs. Once retrieved, the materials get stored in undisclosed warehouses and held for top secret scientific study. The efforts to covertly gather, store, and study such materials is believed to have been going on since the 1947 Roswell Incident. It is further alleged that various civilian-run contractors have been routinely executing "crash retrievals" upon the wreckages of downed UFOs for decades now, and have amassed multiple warehouses of these materials. The term "crash retrieval" will typically be used in the same conversation as the term "exotic materials."
The most famous example of an alleged exotic material in UFO lore is probably the "memory metal" which witnesses at Roswell claim littered the debris field of the 1947 crash.
The most important allegation about exotic materials is that supposedly most post-WWII technological breakthroughs --including transistors, semiconductors, microchips, motherboards, photovoltaic solar panels, night vision, heat vision, stealth technology, nano-tech, and the whole US space program-- would not have been possible without decades of access by secrecy-bound research scientists to these untold hauls of crash-retrieved items. The issuing of secret patents early on in the research process of these materials is the true incentive for military contractors to engage in the research.

Government scientists are secretly studying a vast collection of exotic materials that have been retrieved from crashed UFOs over the past 80 years. With each new exotic material they find, these researchers hope to unlock the hidden properties of these items, and derive practical applications (both military and commercial) from their findings.
