dining philosophers 

a famous problem in the field of concurrency (a sub-field in computer science, for the uninitiated) that discusses an approach to allocate a fixed number of resources among several consumers. here is the actual dining philosophers problem (DPP)...

"A certain number of philosophers spend their lives alternating between thinking and eating. They are seated around a circular table. There is a fork placed between each pair of neighboring philosophers. Each philosopher has access to the forks at her left and right. In order to eat, a philosopher must be in possession of both forks. A philosopher may only pick up one fork at a time. Each philosopher attempts to pick up the left fork first and then the right fork. When done eating, a philosopher puts both forks back down on the table and begins thinking. Since the philosophers are sharing forks, it is not possible for all of them to be eating at the same time."

geek B: oh yeah ! in your dreams. dont bullshit me.

philosophizing 

The point in a late night conversation where normal get-to-know-you chit chat is thrown out the window for something much deeper and Aristotle in nature. Philosophizing primarily focuses on the human condition - the intricacies of romance, politics, personal goals and desires, and typically goes nowhere. The gist of philosophized conversations are forgotten in the morning.

Me and Kat were philosophizing until daybreak... And I have no idea what the fuck either of us said.

Philosophic Phallus Aggrandizement

In Argumentation, the act of constructing a line of reasoning unreasonably, its construction built on a foundation of subconscious bias, in order to give the appearance of making a point, for the sole purpose of exaggerating one’s metaphoric genitalia while systematically minimizing their opponent’s.

“Ah, but you overlook another possibility yourself, that of the unison of divinity and insanity. Perhaps the nature of the Infinite is such as to be unquantifiable by the precepts of order, and thus chaotic at heart?

Then again, perhaps other great minds have overlooked these possibilities because they were more concerned with a logical analysis of the questions themselves, and less concerned with philosophic phallus aggrandizement? (D. Amadeo, Email to R. Piccirillo 11/29/06)”

pothead philosophers

Someones who get drunk and stoned and engage in heavy philosophical conversations with nothing to back up their opinions other than their primal sincerity.

We are just pothead philosophers with no type of studious background whatsoever.

philostopher 

Someone who attempts (often to impress members of the opposite sex/colleagues) to play the role of sophisticated philosopher, but instead ends up becoming lost up his/her own ass, due to being completely out of their depth...

Johnny over there revealed himself to be a true philostopher when he attempted to explain how quantum theory relates to religion. We realized this when he referred to quantum as "something to do with, you know, maths. And stuff".

philosophical drunk 

AKA drunken Socrates
A person whom after becoming intoxicated engages in very deep philosophical conversations. Philosophical drunks are generaly powerless alone yet if more than one are present, these conversations can last hours if not days giving non-philosophical drunks early hang-overs.

Fred is a nice guy, but when he gets drinking he turns into a philosophical drunk and wont shut up.
