Pinception

Where you find yourself lost in Pinterest after chasing the rabbit down the 'more like this' path and lose sense of which layer of pins you're in.
Crap, I can't remember how deep I went. Was it a pin within a pin? Or a pin within a pin within a pin? Pinception!

Pardon me but you will stop kissing asses from this day forward you perceptions purveyor of a writer!

Just do your job and stop fancying yourself a perceptions purveyor, it reeks of dishonesty, malintent and ambiguity.

Her well crafted article was so nice if it weren't for the by-line which makes it obviously written by a perceptions purveyor.

Precautionary Principle

It is when a country attacks another country (or entity) that it fears may plan to attack it later. In other words, it takes action not because of factual threat but of mere potential risk. The precautionary principle is also applied when someone is detained or jailed not because of what he has actually done but because of what the government or police think he may potentially do.
The United States attacked and occupied Iraq using the Precautionary Principle. Nothing would prevent it to use the same principle to attack Iran.

Receptionist

Used as a verb, to give someone a receptionist is to hold out your open hand, palm up - in a cupping gesture - when they're walking towards you. This works best when they are either gay or unsuspecting of your receptioning. The receptionist is complete when they unknowingly walk into your palm so that their testicles, or in the case of clothes their crotch and associated parts, fit snugly into your hand. The receptionist may then maintain a hold, release, or squeeze twice while reciting "Honk," depending on the occasion.
Yo watch this *holds out hand, palm up.
What are you doing?
I'm gonna give Eli a receptionist.
*Eli walks towards person, his balls land in their palm*
Receptionist completed.
