Dynamite Kiss

When you are reaming someone and they accidentally fart

Omg josie I didn't ask for a dynamite kiss

Dynamic Hedging Theory

A financial theory and practice of continuously adjusting positions to neutralize risk, particularly associated with options trading. Dynamic Hedging involves constantly rebalancing a portfolio to maintain a desired risk profile, responding to market movements in real time. The theory argues that static hedges fail because markets move; dynamic hedging adapts. It's the difference between setting a course and staying it no matter what (static) versus constantly adjusting to wind and current (dynamic). In Taleb's work, dynamic hedging is both a practice and a metaphor: life requires constant adjustment, constant response to new information, constant rebalancing of risk. The theory that works for options also works for existence: you can't set and forget; you have to stay engaged, stay responsive, stay alive to change.

Example: "He'd set his investment strategy years ago and never touched it. The market had changed; he hadn't. Dynamic Hedging Theory would have told him to adjust, to rebalance, to respond. Instead, he watched his portfolio crumble, a static strategy in a dynamic world. The theory wasn't just about finance; it was about life."

Dynamite Mining

Dynamite Mining is when a person with a stuffy nose (sick or not) stands in front of the bathroom sink and blows their nose really hard into it so that they can breath more easily.

He ran off to go dynamite mining.
Digging for gold wasn't good enough, it was time for some dynamite mining.

Dynamic Mechanics

The branch of mechanics concerned with the relationship between motion and the forces that affect it—essentially, what most people simply call "dynamics." It's the study of how objects move when forces are applied, encompassing everything from a falling apple to a rocket launch. Dynamic mechanics asks: given these forces, what will the motion be? Given this motion, what forces must have caused it? It's Newton's laws in action, the physics of why things go where they go when pushed, pulled, or thrown.

Example: "The roller coaster designer lives and breathes dynamic mechanics—every loop, drop, and bank is calculated to keep the forces on your body survivable while maximizing thrill."

Dynamic Mechanicism

A philosophical worldview that sees the entire universe—including living beings, societies, and even thoughts—as fundamentally mechanical systems in motion. It's the belief that everything can ultimately be explained by the dynamic interactions of parts obeying physical laws. Dynamic mechanicism is the intellectual descendant of Newton and Laplace: the clockwork universe view, where free will is an illusion, consciousness is an emergent property of neural dynamics, and even love is just a particularly complex set of mechanical interactions.

Example: "He talked about relationships in terms of forces and reactions—a thoroughgoing dynamic mechanicism that left no room for mystery or magic."

Dynamic Materialism

A philosophical framework that understands matter not as static substance but as dynamic process—reality as constant becoming, flux, and transformation rather than fixed things interacting in predictable ways. Dynamic materialism draws on materialist traditions (reality is fundamentally material) but emphasizes that matter itself is active, creative, and self-organizing, not passive stuff awaiting external force. From this view, change isn't something that happens to matter; change is what matter is. Dynamic materialism informs approaches to complexity, emergence, and process philosophy while maintaining materialist commitments—the world is still made of matter, but matter is made of motion.

Example: "His Dynamic Materialism meant he couldn't see the world as static things—only as processes, flows, transformations. A table wasn't an object; it was a temporary stabilization of wood's ongoing relationship with air, gravity, and time."

Dynamist Materialism

A close cousin to dynamic materialism, but with emphasis on the active principle—the dynamis or potentiality inherent in material reality. Dynamist materialism holds that matter contains within itself the potential for all the forms, complexities, and novelties that emerge in the universe—not through external design or imposition, but through the unfolding of inherent possibilities. The dynamist materialist sees evolution not as random variation plus selection but as the actualization of potentials latent in biological matter; sees history not as chaos but as the working-out of possibilities contained in social arrangements; sees consciousness not as ghost in machine but as what matter does when organized complexly enough.

Example: "Where traditional materialists saw only what is, his Dynamist Materialism saw what could be—the potentials latent in every situation, the futures struggling to be born from the matter of the present."
