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.

In ufology, "crash retrieval" is the ongoing, covert practice by military and intelligence agencies of locating crashed UFOs and hauling them back to the nearest secret military warehouse for future scientific study. It is alleged that crash retrievals have been taking place since at least 1947 when the Roswell Incident happened. It is also alleged that the sheer number of successful crash retrievals has been high enough and frequent enough that entire teams have been designated exclusively for the task, and that they are each assigned different geographic regions to carry out their duties.
The goal with crash retrieval is to study the alien technology and the "exotic materials" of the craft, reverse engineer as much of it as possible, and then develop as many military and commercial applications as possible. It has been claimed by UFO insiders that there is a time frame of roughly 20 years from the moment a craft is retrieved, to the marketplace introduction of new tech from the craft. During that 20 years, secret patents get issued to the private contractors whose scientists are studying the exotic materials of the UFO.
Examples of modern technical breakthroughs which are supposedly the end-product of crash retrieval research include transistors, semiconductors, microchips, photovoltaic solar panels, night vision, heat vision, stealth technology, nano-technology, and most of the US space program.

After the UFO was shot down by a fighter pilot, a crash retrieval team from the US Army arrived at the crash site, cordoned off the area, and then hauled the craft lifeless away.

A church leaver is a Christian who has decided he no longer wants to be a part of a local congregation. So he simply stops attending church, and no longer fellowships with Christians, and no longer submits himself to the authority of any church leadership structure. He has not necessarily ceased his belief in God and Jesus and the Bible, but rather he has chosen to no longer participate in church attendance, and all the trappings that come with church attendance.
Most church leavers who wish to remain devout in their faith rely heavily upon the internet for sermons and for indepth Bible research. They find comfort in being able to watch a pre-recorded YouTube sermon at their leisure, or else to be an anonymous "lurker" during a live webcast of a live Sunday morning sermon being sent out from some church elsewhere in the world.
They will sometimes interact on social media groups with other Christians where they might discuss theological matters and even ask for prayer. But the priority of a church leaver to remaining uncommitted to any one church body or group of believers is never compromised.

I became a church leaver when I realized that church attendance was more burdensome than simply worshiping God on my own.

In conspiracy theory, Deep Underground Military Bases (or D.U.M.B.s) are exactly what their name implies: secret underground bases built by the US military (via private military contractors) at exceptionally deep strata.
In past human history, we find accounts of ancient tunnels in Arizona built by the fabled “Ant People” of Hopi lore. We also read about the famous Nazi bunker of Adolf Hitler's final days —an exceptionally engineered bunker with bedrooms, offices, dining facilities, and environmental controls. It is speculated that Nazi scientists from Operation Paperclip were crucial for the success in engineering the first American D.U.M.B.s in the 1950s and 1960s, including the Cheyenne Mountain Complex (now part of the US Space Force).
According to witnesses, D.U.M.B.s exist all over the United States, with the heaviest concentration beneath the High Desert of the American West where the rock strata is strong enough to support the structures, and the lack of groundwater affords the least interference from flooding during construction, expansion, and ongoing operations.
Privately contracted long haul truckers claim underground highways connect these bases, stretching through tunnels for many hundreds of miles, complete with intersections, traffic lights, and gas stations.
FEMA's "Continuity of Government" initiative is rumored to include D.U.M.B.s in its plans to preserve key governmental personnel in the event of a catastrophic national emergency, such as nuclear war.

The US military has secretly built hundreds of Deep Underground Military Bases (aka D.U.M.B.s) all across the USA, especially in the American West, and Antarctica is said to have one of the largest singular, self-contained D.U.M.B.s in the world.

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."

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.
