telepathy

The ability to synchronise the informational processes within one's mind to those of another individual; or conversely, to sychronise the informational processes of another's mind to one's own. This manifests as a form of direct mind-to-mind communication, without any medium of transmission involving energy and matter. See psionics.

Telepathy can only be achieved when an individual has understood the principles of psionics

schizophrenia

Condition in which person's perception of reality differs from that of most others. Commonly believed to be an illness; in some instances this may be the case, but in others it may be that the person exists in a transcendent state that has not yet been defined or detected by science.

I live two lives. One is as a Web developer and programmer on a planet called Earth. The other is as an intergalactic diplomat from the Ammethane system. Both are equally real to me. Neither has adversely affected my existence as a functional being in the opposed reality. But most of you who read this would say I suffer from schizophrenia.

fcuk

Fashion/Apparel company that used a contrived acronym (French Connection United Kingdom) to allow them to create a logo that looked like a common expletive at first glance. A typical example of the desperate and murky depths to which modern marketing vermin will sink to make a buck.

Anyone who buys fcuk gear is a brainwashed cretin who falls for pathetic marketing ploys.
