street epistemology 

A non-threatening, often public, discourse; designed to identify, explore and possibly modify deeply held personal beliefs through the use of the Socratic method.
Through my exposure to street epistemology, it became evident to me that faith--as a foundation for sustaining religious belief--is unreliable. How could divergently opposing religious systems expect to use faith as a method of conveying revealed Truth, yet come to mutually incompatible conclusions? Answer: they can not.

Existential Crisis 

A period in which you contemplate the meaning of life, your purpose in life, the inevitability of death, etc.

This can last from a few minutes up to a month. Best done lying on your tummy face down on a flat surface (usually the ground) with hands by sides. Can occur at any time during the day.

Most commonly occurs among people in their 20s as they have just become free and are living their own lives and making decisions which will impact them in the long run.
Made popular by Dan Howell (danisnotonfire)
Existential Crisis 1: *lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs* "Life is so pointless. I work so hard to further my career and have a life when really it'll all be worth nothing because I'll just die. Is this really what I want to be doing?"

Existential Crisis 2: "Making some cereal.... Why do I exist? Life is pointless."

Texas Exit 

When you're jammed in traffic in the state of Texas and you've had enough of not moving, sitting in the Texas sun sweating like a jackass, you drive off the side of the interstate at a 45 degree angle through the ditch in your pickup truck.
This traffic is B.S.! Let's pull a Texas Exit.

The age where teenagers "teens" are expected to behave like responsible adults but are treated and disregarded as children. It is usually defined as the last two years of high school and the gap year after graduation.
Much of the mainstream media and commercial sector target their content and products at exiteens that want to be able to enjoy those things marketed at them but are not legally allowed to do so.
