doxastically closed

"Doxastically closed" describes a person who is unwilling to change their (false) beliefs regardless of any arguments against it.

The term is used in Street Epistemology and goes back to Peter Boghossian’s "A Manual for Creating Atheists". His definition: “I use the term to mean that either a specific belief one holds, or that one’s entire belief system, is resistant to revision.”

Bob: "1+1=3"
Anthony: "Imagine an empty table. You put one cup on the table. Then you put another cup on the table. How many cups are on the table?"
Bob: "Two."
Anthony: "Putting down one cup and then another cup is '1 cup + 1 cup' and you correctly identified the result as '2 cups'. So you see: 1+1=2"
Bob: "No, 1+1=3"

Charlie (to Dan): "Bob sure is a *very* doxastically closed person."

When you want to tell someone when you are not in the mood for sex.

I’m sorry Wes but the bank is closed for the weekend you really pissed me off.

closet christians

Athiests who harbor unreasonable resentment towards God. How can they resent something that by definition they don't believe in? Also, put any athiest on their deathbed and they'll be the first to pray for mercy.

"Oh my god, he's shooting at me! Please, God, don't let him kill me! NOOOOOOOO!" (bang bang)

close your eyes and open your mouth

A fun game boys play with drunk girls.

Maria said, "Every time I get drunk and a boy says close your eyes and open your mouth, I get a big fat cock in the mouth!"

close the register

a pleading to someone to cease using sarcasm or dry humor. Principly used when the third party fails to understand the joking nature. Originated in episode 3F07 ("Marge Be Not Proud") of The Simpsons, when Jeff Albertson (AKA Comic Book Guy) says to Bart "Seeing as we are unfamiliar with sarcasm, I shall close the register at this point..."

first guy: "...and the other gynocologist says "Fund us? We're lucky she doesn't sue us!"
second guy: "Uhhh, ok."
first guy: "Gynocolgist? Fund us? Fundus?"
second guy: "I don't get it."
third guy: "Oh, Jesus, Pete! Just close the register!"
