pre-thunk

Thoughts that you are wise enough to formulate before they are needed.

The reason I can respond to your inane bullshit with a coherent argument expressed succinctly and delivered in but six seconds is because I have pre-thunk thoughts and you are a parrot parroting the parrots on Fox News.

chit-chat-storm

When you cc all your friends on an email asking a simple question in the subject line and it sets off a mass of useless comments and comments on comments ad infinitum of no use in answering the question.

I asked Google "What does it mean to be an American" and Google's number one answer was an essay by a 10-year-old who doesn't know anything about citizenship and perhaps couldn't find the USA is on the globe, all because somebody who ran a contest for kids hired an SEO expert. So I sent an email to all my friends "How do we get Google to do its fucking job?" and that set off a chit-chat-storm, but nobody had a fucking idea of how to get Google to do its fucking job.

Invertible

In linear algebra, an n-by-n square matrix A is called invertible (also nonsingular or nondegenerate) if there exists an n-by-n square matrix B such that:

AB = BA = I (where I is the Identity Matrix).

Otherwise, in life, it refers to the case where something can be transformed into something else and transformed back.

Randy: Sally is so invertible; real marriage material.

Sandy: I know, nonsingularly so. Put a few drinks in her and you can get her on her back and yet in the morning she still gets up and cooks you breakfast.

transnamed

Being given a name at birth (or adopting one later) that is not normally associated with the societally recognized gender you were born with (or choose later).

Johnny Cash wrote a song about a transnamed cisgendered Boy Named Sue.
