Get the Postmolonin’ mug.An immoral craze popular in the North of England whereby an individual has sexual contact with another individual around public service objects such as the Olympic golden postboxes. The phrase was coined after several members of the LGBT community in Sheffield were found to be cheating on their partners after pictures were circulated of the postbox evidence. This craze has now spread to other areas of the UK, such as Stockport, Manchester, and Leeds.
Me: Did you hear she has been gold postboxing her girlfriend?
Them: That's awful, she doesn't deserve any happiness!
Me: They didn't even care who could see!
Me: I can't believe she cheated on me like that!
Them: Well at least you weren't Gold Postboxed mate
Me: True.

Get the Gold Postboxing mug.A reaction to the work of Modern philosophers, most of whom created vast systems of meaning founded upon one central concept. In many religions, the central and beginning premise is some supreme being or concept. The postmodernist critique removes that central concept, it "decenters" the system of meaning. Postmodernism points out that all systems of meaning are in constant negotiation and flux, therefore claims of transcendant morality are suspect.
Furthermore, postmodernism critiques all claims of "objective" truth by revealing that human subjectivity always exists in every truth proposition. Due to the pervasive effects of subjectivity, postmodernist critiques are critical of all sweeping claims concerning social policy, truth, justice, morality, and ethics.
Finally, postmodernism is a school of thought which examines the traditional "either/or" dichotomies in modern philosophy, and reveals that these supposedly neutral dichotomies actually favor one side over the other. (Good/Evil, Above/Below, Male/Female)

Example one:
Modern Philosopher: "The word "justice" means ______"
Postmodernist: " The term 'justice' means many different things, depending on the subjective positions of the members of the discussion. Outside any discussion of 'justice', there is no meaning which we can find. 'Justice' 'exists' so long as we negotiate its meaning as between ourselves in our society."
Example Two:
Ignoramus: "Postmodernism means _______"
"Postmodernist" : " The label 'postmodern' applies in many different contexts, and it cannot be abstracted into only one meaning or definition, for that defies the very essence of 'postmodern', which of course is a non-essence. "

"the fabolous buttplug and the unbearable waking of armin meiwes" is a paradigmatic examination of transgressive existentialism of the postmodern deconstruction of precannibalist postanalfisting.
