Meta-ethics is the branch of ethics that seeks to understand the nature of ethical properties, statements, attitudes, and judgments. Meta-ethics is one of the three branches of ethics generally studied by philosophers, the others being normative ethics and applied ethics.
There are three kinds of meta-ethics problems, or three general questions:
1) What is the meaning of moral terms or judgments? (moral semantics)
2) What is the nature of moral judgments? (moral ontology)
3) How may moral judgments be supported or defended? (moral epistemology) A question of the first type might be, "What do the words 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' mean?" The second category includes questions of whether moral judgments are universal or relative, of one kind or many kinds, etc. Questions of the third kind ask, for example, how we can know if something is right or wrong, if at all.

f.i. or f.o (fit in or fuck off)is an informal reference to a controversial human resources philosophy whereby the employee is expected to conform to the prevailing organizational norms or get fired. It is also used to impose conformity to perceived racial, national, gender or societal norms. it is a "no-holds barred", "frank" and open assessment by a supervisor, who maps the employee's chances and alternate career paths boldly, forthrightly and unhesitatingly. This is said to be "not necessarily" to the employee's advantage. The acronym "f.i. or f.o.”, the neologism, the phrase and meme "fit in or fuck off", and the concept have been expanded and exported to other contexts. For example it is used as a justification for racism, nationalism (e.g., jingoism), ethnic, nativist, immigrant restriction and xenophobic reaction, regulation and action. This idiom is a suggested direction that means to assimilate and be productive.
“Some fast food management teams describe f.i. or f.o., as the culture of a competitive meritocracy.”

Sext claw might not be a diagnosis, but many deviant individuals have definitely felt the pangs of sexting, typing, or browsing pornsites. From a visual standpoint, it's the pain you get throughout your wrist and hands, after constant use or masturbation. Sometimes this can lead to cramping, which in turn can cause blue balls, bitching, a decline in motivation, and the loss of busting a nut. It can actually make hand jobs from yourself or other people, seem to be out of the question or just more difficult to complete.
Hey Lisa! I heard one of your trick's didn't have enough for a quickie, right? No Pam. I was in too much pain from a sext claw halfway through, and just told him it was on the house.

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.

A Walking Dead Zone is an area for people with mobile phones who are currently experiencing the inconvenience of not being able to transmit to a nearby mobile site, base station, or any other similar Wi-Fi points of access. In these areas, the mobile phone is said to be in a state of outage. Walking Dead Zones is usually where Wi-Fi service is not available because the signal between the handset and mobile site antennas is blocked or severely reduced, usually by hilly terrain, spooky graveyards, dense foliage, physical distance, or interference from the Talking Dead. This will cause most mobile phone users who have no means of transportation to keep “walking “ until they are finally within range of a verifiable signal. Some of these Talking Dead who are traversing the Walking Dead Zones, have been known to utter out incoherent ramblings, such as, “Out of range!” “Out of range!”
Kelly: “Where’d Derek go, Brandon?”
Brandon: “Him and a few of his friends are in a Walking Dead Zone, somewhere between here and the abandoned church.
Kelly: “Well, he better hurry up and get back here in time for The Walking Dead ‘else I’m gonna start watching The Jerry Springer Show, I’m a telling you what!”

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.
