to [peterson] out

To abandon a reasonably successful academic career in order to pursue a life of quackery and sophistry (as exemplified by Canadian psychologist Jordan B. Peterson).

Giving lectures and grading papers is so frustrating, sometimes I just want to peterson out.

- Is Dr. Jones still working on the bovine flu virus sequencing project?
- No, she petersoned out a few months ago and wrote a spiritual health manual.

Teching Out

Teching out is in reference to the propensity people high on methamphetamine have for developing an incredibly powerful desire to attempt to tinker with electronics /tech items. Whether it's taking something apart like a flashlight or installing stereos. The big difference between someone teching out and a regular hobbyist is that the hobbyist is generally organized. The person teching out is going to make a huge mess approximately 90% of the time. Most likely won't accomplish what they set out to do and will more often than not, get frustrated and lose their temper quite easily.

The next door neighbour was outside teching out on his car stereo until 3 a.m. again last night. Bits and bobs of his car lay strewn about our cul-de-sac.
