Porpoising

The up-and-down oscillation of a 2022-era Formula One car at speed, which vaguely resembles the kicking motion of a porpoise. This is due to ground-effects sucking the car to the track to the point of it bottoming-out. The sudden loss of underfloor downforce results in the car the car springing back upwards and the process repeating itself several times per second.

Mercedes' W13 car performance is plagued by porpoising down the straights.

Prousing

Being a total liability when drunk

I was totally Prousing last night and ended up jumping in the ocean, stepping on a sea urchin and stinking up a hotel room with vinegar.

Proposition

It isn't about the people

Hym "It's about the proposition. And how the fuck was I suppose to know what kind of response I would get? How is this NOT the exact opposite of what should have happened here? And people are using my fucking arguments. Why would mainstream public intellectuals USE ARGUMENTS THAT DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE YOU FUCKING GOMER! JESUS CHRIST! CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO HIM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AND ARGUMENT AND AN ASSERTION!? You're just asserting that it isn't a problem and EVEN IF IT WAS A PROBLEM you wouldn't give a shit. Seriously, I was a 1400 WITHOUT being trained by the greatest chess players on the planet. Dumb. You want to bitch about what I'm doing but look at the fucking morons who are already popular!"

Promoshing

A portmanteau of "promise" and "mosh"
'Pro-mah-shing'

Listing something desirable on an online local selling platform (Such as Marketplace or Craigslist) at an obviously undervalued price with the sole intention of trying to get multiple people to rush to the seller, and hoping the desperate buyers will get into a physical altercation to buy the product, for the seller's own entertainment.

Kyle: "Bro!! Someone just listed a MINT well maintained 1991 Honda CR-X on Marketplace for $2K! There's no way this is real."

Sam: "It might be real, but it sounds like the seller is promoshing. If we get there in the next 30 minutes, it might still be there, but you will likely have to fist fight several people for the chance to buy it."
