Nomic

Nomic is an initially boring finite game created in 1982 by the philosopher Peter Suber.

On your turn you roll a die and add its value to your score. The first person to reach 100 wins and the game ends. However, each player can also propose a new rule or a modification of an old one on their turn and if the rule is adopted then the game can morph into something else.

Bob: "Let's play Nomic."

Carol: "Great. I propose the first rule is that we change the name to NotNomic and replace the number 100 in the win state with Infinity. That way we have an infinite game we can enjoy playing forever."

Bob, Carol, Ted, Alice: "Aye."

Ted: "The ayes have it. The rule is adopted. I propose we change the name to NullNomic and change the number in the win state to zero so the game is over before it starts and we don't have to play at all."

Bob, Carol, Ted, Alice: "Aye."

Alice: "The Ayes have it. Boy am I glad that shenanigans is over. Anyone up for a beer?"

Jive Turkey Nomenclature 

Abbreviated JTN...A false or disingenuous person has been effectively ridiculed by being called a Jive Turkey in a public forum, resulting in other parties threatening that similar wording may be used against others not involved with the origin of the initial transgression. JTN is also used in general reference to anything that is viewed as pompous or arrogant. The term is thought to originate in the Southeastern region of the US.

"Just so you know I could have made a big stink out of this and invoked Jive Turkey nomenclature".

n. When you're dating someone but, frankly, there's nothing there. You're just going through the motions, passing the time and waiting for something better to come along. Don't even ask about the sex.

Pete and Jordan don't look too happy together.
Damn right - it's the nomance of the century.

Parent of the year nomination 

An ironic term to describe the complete meltdown of a child in a public space when accompanied by a parent.

Can also describe the looks others give you when either your child freaks out or you do something they disapprove of.

After five minutes of Rachel's tantrum on the floor of the toy section of the department store, Nathan finally put her over her shoulder and bundled her out to the car, his daughter giving him the parent of the year nomination the whole way.

or

Nathan knew he was going to get a few parent of the year nominations for sending Rachel to nursery school with cheese puffs as a snack, but there had been no time to shop.
