Formal Metasciences

The systematic study of the formal sciences themselves—a second-order discipline that takes logic, mathematics, systems theory, and related fields as its objects of inquiry. Formal metasciences ask meta-level questions about formal knowledge: How do formal scientists know what they claim to know? What methods do different formal disciplines use? How does formal knowledge change over time? How do social, cultural, and institutional contexts shape formal science? What are the limits of formal understanding? Formal metasciences are the formal sciences reflecting on themselves—the attempt to understand what formal science is, what it can achieve, and how it relates to other forms of knowledge. They're essential for formal science to be self-aware rather than merely practiced, for formal scientists to understand their own activities rather than just engaging in them.
Example: "Her formal metasciences research examined how Gödel's incompleteness theorems transformed logic's understanding of itself—showing that formal systems have inherent limits, and that the dream of complete, consistent foundations for mathematics is impossible. Logic studying itself discovered its own boundaries."

Emme maths bad

Bad bad, when something is so bad it couldn't be any worse.

Example, accidentally getting your foot caught in a lawnmower while wearing sandles.

Bit of background Emme is that really bad rapper that went viral when she tried running up on someone and then clipped her self.
The other day I was sat outside my house and someone fell off their pushbike, when they looked up I noticed they had smashed out 5 teeth and ripped an ear off and I said to my self damn that's Emme maths bad

Nebo meth garage

This act requires three people. While doggie style, the male takes three hits of meth and blows it into the woman's anus. Then immediately ejaculates into said anus, all while the third person is stealing the catalytic converter on the car used to drive them.
Wow guys we were pretty spun out last night during that nebo meth garage..

Beer coaster maths

It is associated with basic/rough figures traditionally done on the back of a beer coaster at a pub while drinking.

An example might be mates working out the cost of a fishing trip, so "Fuel will be about $100, bait about $50, accom about $200 and good about $200". So rough/approximate figures.
According to my beer coaster maths, it would be about $500. But if you want a more accurate number I'd obviously have to look it up, speak to the suppliers etc.
