Deduction

1) An idea formed by deducing.

2) Subtraction.

1) I made the deduction that somebody had stolen my goldfish for revenge after putting the clues all together.

2) The ten-point deduction in round two really stomped out his internal fire; he just played the rest of the rounds out after that and took the loss.

standard deduction

The traditional Lenten sacrifice of abstinence from non-seafood meat (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, etc.), as opposed to any additional sacrifice like chocolate, beer, video games, or sex.

GF: Are you gonna give up playing Guitar Hero for Lent?
BF: Hells no, I gotta finish it in hard. I'll just take the standard deduction.
GF: Step aside, then. I just need to beat "Knights of Cydonia" in expert to finish the game. Nooch!

tax deduction

A name for annoying children, generally in an urban setting where they are not generally tolerated.

Take your filthy little tax deductions out of Manhattan and back to Jersey where they belong.
