strange loop

A strange loop is a cyclic structure that goes through several levels in a hierarchical system. It arises when, by moving only upwards or downwards through the system, one finds oneself back where one started. A strange loop is a hierarchy of levels, each of which is linked to at least one other by some type of relationship. A strange loop hierarchy is "tangled" in that there is no well defined highest or lowest level; moving through the levels, one eventually returns to the starting point, i.e., the original level. Strange loops may involve self reference or paradox.

“An example of a strange loop would be the Canon 5. a 2 from Bach's Musical Offering, which is a musical piece that continues to rise in key, modulating through the entire chromatic scale until it ends in the same key in which it began.“

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.

mise en abyme

mise en abyme is a term used in Western art history to describe a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence.

In film and literary theory, it refers to the technique of inserting a story within a story. A common sense of the phrase is the visual experience of standing between two mirrors, then seeing as a result an infinite reproduction of one's image. Mise en abyme occurs within a text when there is a reduplication of images or concepts referring to the textual whole. Mise en abyme is a play of signifiers within a text, of sub-texts mirroring each other. This mirroring can get to the point where meaning may be rendered unstable and, in this respect, may be seen as part of the process of deconstruction. In literary criticism, mise en abyme is a type of frame story, in which the core narrative may be used to illuminate some aspect of the framing story. The term is used in deconstruction and deconstructive literary criticism as a paradigm of the intertextual nature of language, that is, of the way language never quite reaches the foundation of reality because it refers in a frame-within-a-frame way, to other language, which refers to other language, and so forth.

As a structural mirror of the overarching plot, the tale is an example of " mise en abyme ".

Augustine’s law’s

Augustine's laws were a series of tongue in cheek aphorisms put forth by Norman Ralph Augustine, an American aerospace businessman who served as Under Secretary of the Army from 1975 to 1977. In 1984 he published his laws. The book and several of the laws were the topic of an article in Sound and Vibration magazine in March 2012. His most cited law is number 16, which shows that defense budgets grow linearly but the unit cost of a new military aircraft grows exponentially.

“In the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one tactical aircraft. This aircraft will have to be shared by the Air Force and Navy 3 days each per week except for leap year, when it will be made available to the Marines for the extra day.“ - Augustine’s law’s: XVI

D.A.B.S.

D.A.B.S. is an abbreviated acronym which stands for Drama And Bull Shit. It can cover a wide range of petty and trivial indifferences. Sometimes it can seem to be more on point, if the individuals involved, are immature, obnoxious, boisterous, or impulsive. Set examples can be seen on World Star Hip Hop, or any other social media websites, where troll-like behavior is rampant and unhinged 24/7. D.A.B.S. can also be seen as a reference to child like demeanors, which may include “He said, She said” debacles and heresy.

Brandon: “What’s all the fuss about between Bobby and his Dad?”

Kelly: “Just a bad case of the D.A.B.S. I guess.” Brandon: “That and he’s always wanting to flap his dick suckers, for no apparent reason!”

sabrotage

The enactment of sabering (removing a cork from a bottle of champagne) using a saber or champagne sword is called sabrage. If the champagne bottle is broken, shatters, or explodes during this process, it can be said that it has run afoul of sabrotage. This is a portmanteau of the words sabotage and sabrage.

So while you sit back and your wondering why,
I got these shards of glass stuck in my eyes, “Surprise!”
Oh my god, it's a bloody mirage,
I'm tellin' y'all, it's sabrotage!
