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.

Weekend Warrior

1. Army Reservist; part time levy trained in basic Army procedures to be called up in times of war. 2. City boys who snaffle their mother's SUV to go poaching rabbits with their .22s until the farmer comes and blows their tyres with his pump-action 12-gauge.

1. All the regulars were in Iraq, so they called in the weekend warriors to handle the riots downtown last week.

2. Hah, I see the weekend warriors are out tearing up the paddocks again! Where's my damn shottie?

drugs

(Cultural Semantics): Symptom of a society in which legitimised greed has created a negative social condition resulting in a widespread desire to escape reality. Often used by capitalist dictators as a political diversion to distract the oppressed populace from issues that would result in said enforcers losing power.

Abuse of drugs is most prolific in capitalist regimes.

Strine

A word coined by Americans to describe the Australian accent. This word is not used by Australians, and American tourists who use it in Australia soon learn not to. See also cobber.

Yank tourist: "I gotta brush up on my Strine!"
Me: "Strine? Hmmm, a sucker... Hey mate, you wanna buy a galah for 50 grand?"
Yank tourist: "Yeah, sure will buddy!"
(I walk away 50 grand richer while Yank tourist gets 10 years for exporting wildlife that farmers shoot as a pest!)

booming

In Real-Time Strategy games, the practice of building up a massive attacking force without actually attacking while building up. The resulting huge army is then hurled against an enemy with the intention of destroying them in one fell swoop. However, this tactic invariably fails against experienced players, since an area-attack weapon (like an Onager) can often flatten the whole invading army at a stroke. This then leaves the booming player open to unopposed retaliatory attacks.

MegaLlama tried booming on me, but I wiped his whole army with one Seige Onager and then razed his TC in less than 3 minutes! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

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
