unconventional motivation

The drive to study for tests and quizzes in college so that you can work quickly and leave the testing site as quickly as possible.

Chris: why the hell are you studying?
Billy: Chem is my last class tomorrow, so I want to get out of there as soon as possible. Also, I want to miss the rush of people all turning in their quizzes at the same time.
Chris: Ahh, classis unconventional motivation.

Procrastinatorily Motivated

When one becomes motivated to do anything except their homework.

Lust Motivation

The sudden motivation injection you have when you meet someone you really like and want to impress.

My lust motivation is so high right now, I'm at the gym everyday!

Retard Motivation

The limitless determination errupted oftenly in mentaly-disabled/arrogent people when they really want to do something that would be normally considered frivolous, impossible, or even murderous, depending on the initiative of the person using it.

"Dude, I over at my friends house when he got really drunk and tried to fly down the stairs like superman"

"Yeah, he gets some retard motivation when he gets really sloshed"

food motivated

When you are willing to do something, you would not otherwise do, if food is involved. Primarily the food is free.

"I've gotta go to this stupid work thing. I wouldn't go but there's food, so I'm going cause I'm food motivated."

motivejack

A practice made infamous by the evil, hermit-like creatures who own the Vortex Media Group, in which posts to their forums are silently rewritten to point at content from their otherwise unread "Motive Magazine". Derived from carjacked.

Dude, did you see that article on the guy who designed the power-point accessory socket for the Nissan GT-R? It was pointed at Autoblog but it got motivejacked!

motivated reasoning

Working backwards in logic, disregarding the facts in order to support an erroneous conclusion. Motivated reasoning is in contrast to logical reasoning.

I know you're telling me the fact that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, but my motivated reasoning tells me he did.

We invaded Iraq because of 9/11. What we did in Iraq was right. Saddam Hussein was involved in plotting 9/11.
