COVFEFE Act

The Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement Act (COVFEFE Act) is a bill introduced into the United States House of Representatives in 2017, during the 115th United States Congress.

The bill would amend the Presidential Records Act to preserve Twitter posts and other social media interactions of the president of the United States, and to require the National Archives to store such items.
Congressman's 'COVFEFE Act' would force president Trump to save all of his tweets.

discouraged workers

In economics, discouraged workers is a person of legal employment age who is not actively seeking employment or who does not find employment after long-term unemployment. This is usually because an individual has given up looking or has had no success in finding a job, hence the term "discouraged". A discouraged worker is defined as a person not in the labor force who wants and is available for a job and who has looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of his or her last job if a job was held within the past 12 months), but who is not currently looking because of real or perceived poor employment prospects.
The top five reasons for discouraged workers are the following:

1)The worker thinks no work is available.
2) The worker could not find work.
3) The worker lacks schooling or training.
4) The worker is viewed as too young or too old by the prospective employer.
5) The worker is the target of various types of discrimination.

heterodyne

is a signal processing technique invented in 1901 by Canadian inventor-engineer Reginald Fessenden that creates new frequencies by combining or mixing two frequencies. Heterodyning is used to shift one frequency range into another, new one, and is also involved in the processes of modulation and demodulation. The two frequencies are combined in a nonlinear signal-processing device such as a vacuum tube, transistor, or diode, usually called a mixer. In the most common application, two signals at frequencies f1 and f2 are mixed, creating two new signals, one at the sum f1 + f2 of the two frequencies, and the other at the difference f1 − f2. These new frequencies are called heterodynes. Typically only one of the new frequencies is desired, and the other signal is filtered out of the output of the mixer. Heterodynes are the mathematical dual of the phenomenon of "beats" in acoustics.

A major application of the heterodyne process is in the superheterodyne radio receiver circuit, which is used in virtually all modern radio receivers.
I thought heterodyne meant the oral copulation of a heterosexual.

serenity prayer

Dear God, please grant me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Sometimes when no one else is listening, I recite the serenity prayer to myself and remember that God is always listening.

droste effect

The droste effect is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. And while the appearance may be recursive, the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever, as fractals can sometimes do; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size.
This sentence says, "This sentence says, "This sentence says, "This sentence says, "..."""" - (example of the droste effect )

cigarette soup

cigarette soup is the voluntarily unknown consumption of a canned beer or soda that has previously been used as an ashtray or a spittoon for chewing tobacco. This is most likely to occur during keg parties, like minded social gatherings, and occasionally from mischievous pranksters.
While Derek was half dazed from puking in the toilet, he asked Brandon for an opened can of soda to drink. Brandon didn’t realize that he had given Derek a can of cigarette soup, until he yelled, “What the fuck?!”, before vomiting even more than ever.
