Get the Hank intersection mug.Related Words
A traffic intersection that, because of a lack of a protected turn and the flow of traffic, only lets one vehicle through per cycle of lights.
That guy up there is turning left and the light just turned green, by the time he turns, it'll be red again. I hate telegraph intersections.

Get the telegraph intersection mug.When there's a four-way stop sign intersection a quarter mile ahead of you with no cars in it, that suddenly has cars converging from all sides at the same as you, making it impossible to discern who's supposed to go, and making a hazardous situation.
I had a bad case of Murphy's Intersection Law driving home. No one knew who was supposed to go, and we all crashed into each other.

Get the Murphy's Intersection Law mug.1. The power or magnitude of light, heat, or whatever else you might analyze in physics class. Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of distance from the source.
2 (a) Excessive and mindless enthusiasm for an activity which is often trivial or pointless. This concept was coined by a group of students from
radnor high school when they were bored during gym class. When you’re playing soccer, Intensity is the voice in your head that tells you to tackle the goalie. Intensity is the Mortal Kombat theme song playing on the nearest boom box when everyone in your gym class has a hockey stick. At the same time, Intensity is getting pumped over something irrelevant. You would be a normal fan if you got insanely pumped for a footbal game, but you would be Intense if you got insanely pumped for a football game between a mediocre team and a really bad team (see Lower Merion High School and radnor). Other legit examples are shouting "defense" as other physics olympics teams try to get their rubber-band powered airplanes off the ground, getting in a fight with another school's mascot, and spirited douche-baggery.
Intensity is generally accepted to be equal to perspiration multiplied by duration. With this meaning, NEVER use the original pronunciation. A good bet is In-tense-it-eye.
2 (b) Getting rowdy

1. If I differentiate the double integral of the function of intensity... I'll get the first integral... Screw this physics homework, I'm going to go whack off.
2. We totally need to bring the Intensity to the next game. You know, so we'll be Intense.

Get the samsung intensity mug.A social scientist/engineer who through either malicious intent or academic indoctrination influences society and the individuals in society to become as intersectional as possible. This is usually actively done by governments and corporations to sow discord and divisions amongst the population or passively by academics who have lost sight of reality through never experiencing life beyond a university.
The end result of their meddling is the production of "Wokenstein's Monster" - a lumbering patchwork of different identities that they try to pass off as a personality (usually to obtain oppression points, so as to win the oppression olympics). They emotionally lash out when the rest of society doesn't accept their shallow identity devoid of any actual personality traits that extend beyond gender, sexual orientation, race etc.

Guy 1: "Did you take Professor Lee's social justice course?"
Guy 2: "No way, my friend Sarah took the course and came out claiming she was being oppressed because she's a omnisexual, pangender, Beluga whale roaming the seas searching for love."
Guy 1: "Ah, I see. That means Professor Lee is a total Intersectional Frankenstein."
