Asstractive

A girl who, due to legs, hips, and butt, looks hot from the back; however from the front, although not fugly, does not quite compare with her image from the back.

E: Dude, that girl is so attractive I can't believe it!

K: Man sorry to tell you, I actually saw her face yesterday... asstractive

E: Bummer!

K: She sure is...

Peterson Level of Abstraction

A level of specificity too specific to be of concern to a layperson, but that is often discussed at great length by those concerned with minute details of the subject matter.

A: "But if the transmutation statute requiring written evidence kicks in after 1985, you can rebut the 1984 Anti-Lucas joint tenancy presumption written requirement with an oral or implied transmutation agreement from 1984 through 1985. And conversely, the oral or written rebuttal before the 1987 Anti-Lucas Joint Title Presumption can overcome the transmutation requirement from 1985 through 1987, right guys?"

B: "I guess... but do we really need to know all that? That sounds like a Peterson Level of Abstraction you're getting to there."

zero cost abstraction

A buzzword usually uttered by someone trying to sell you the idea that you should rewrite your project in Rust. It supposedly means "free" abstractions that don't come with overheads and penalties, but in reality they're anything but free.

If you hear someone use the term zero cost abstraction unironically, run as fast as you possibly can because you're cornered by a snake oil salesman.

Manifest Abstraction

Something not worth thinking about.

"Dude, what you're saying is a manifest abstraction, You are never going to get that girl. She's much too hot to exist in your world."

abstracturdity

Abstracturdities are abstract absurdities. Concepts that have little relation to reality, either in usage or in reasonable thought processes. Given a chance, they will render any conversation an intractable mire of conceptual incontinuity.

"I would be obliged to tip my hat to him"
"Indeed. So would i"
"Which would be difficult, considering i dont wear hats"
"Er well then, bow"
"That just doesnt have the same... impetus.
*impetus*
Now thats a word.
I want a word like that for Christmas."
Boy, that sure was an abstracturdity. Who gets a word for Christmas? My conversation has been rendered an intractable mire of conceptual incontinuity.

A social situation that entails the diversion of one's attention from a current matter of business to another's behind, usually causing an embarrassing situation and/or car accident.

"Remember that girl from the store who was causing a total asstraction? She was pretty."
