A genre of exploitation cinema that focuses primarily on Nazis, Adolf Hitler and other associations of the third reich and Nazi Party. Notable themes include torture, rape, bondage, BDSM, S&M, sexual deviance, fascism, militarism, World War 2, concentration camps and Dieselpunk.
Neil: I'm telling you, man. "SS Girls" was a billion times more disturbing than "Women's Camp 119."
Craig: "Women's Camp 119" takes place in a frickin' extermination camp! If "SS Girls" had taken place in an extermination camp I'd agree with you. But it's in a whorehouse, so it might as well be a musical!
Gene: This is really a genre? Nazisploitation? You guys don't see anything wrong with this?
Neil: Oh, yes. God forbid somebody exploits the Nazis.
Gene:That's not what I meant dude...

Get the Nazisploitation mug.When one exposes themselves to fiction that stimulates our negative qualities (like horror fiction) so that they can work through them in a healthy and harmless environment as catharsis.
Serial killers and other murderers appeal to the impulse Stephen King calls "feeding the alligators," and Carl Jung called "integration of the shadow self," but it all means the same thing: that entertaining our own dark side can be therapeutic.

Get the feeding the alligators mug.The adjective meaning "like Socrates" or "Socrates-like". Usually applied to nouns that are involved in critical thinking.
The Socratic Method involves asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presumptions.

Get the Socratic mug.A person who has a passive fascination with gothic subjects (the night, despair, the night, wearing black, Hot Topic, Tim Burton, the night, etc.), but compared to an active goth, could not be identified as goth immediately on sight. They tend to not take the more dramatic lifestyle commonly associated with other goths, and are considered "moderate" in comparison. Can usually be identified by wearing all black and/or having a dark sense of humor. Not to be confused with emos or beatniks.
"You see that guy over there?"
"Who?"
"The art student in a black sweater and sunglasses."
"Oh, you mean the passive goth."
"Passive goth?"
"Yeah, you know, a goth that you wouldn't think was a goth till you ask them about how their day went. Shit gets creepy really quick."

Get the passive goth mug.The study of baramins, or a lineage of earthly life which is believed in Young Earth Creationism to be created by God during the creation week, and corresponds in some functional aspects to the secular concept of "species".
Those that study and believe in Baraminology believe that Noah did not store 2 of every species on the planet , but instead he stored each and every "Kind" of animal. "Kind" being whatever the hell creationists want to mean at the moment.

Get the Baraminology mug.A person who has fully committed themselves to the goth subculture and the lifestyle that it entails: leather, buckles, piercings, decorative contact lenses and all. Unlike passive goths, active goths can be identified as goth on-sight.
The elusive active goth can be found at your local Hot Topic. Here we see them walking with a black parasol in their victorian/steampunk casual-wear, petting their plastic ravens and black cats as they go on about the blight of inevitable death and "the man" before they congregate by the hundreds to express their individuality to their goth brethren.

Get the active goth mug.A form of Transtextuality where the text cites another text, either by quotation, allusion or plagiarism.
"Any text is a new tissue of past citations. Bits of code, formulae, rhythmic models, fragments of social languages, etc., pass into the text and are redistributed within it, for there is always language before and around the text. Intertextuality, the condition of any text whatsoever, cannot, of course, be reduced to a problem of sources or influences; the intertext is a general field of anonymous formulae whose origin can scarcely ever be located; of unconscious or automatic quotations, given without quotation marks."
The example I just gave was itself an example of Intertext because it was quoted from "Theory of the Text."
