second-generation enabling

Refers to either of two equally-unhealthy practices that seemingly "skips a place" in the chain of progression, but has a comparably-negative result --- Person A acts as a financial "crutch" for Person B, allowing Person B to continue his dissipative lifestyle:
(1) Where you do not beg resources directly (i.e., "first generation" enabling) from a financially-solvent person who is sick of your mooching, but you instead ask your "benefactor" to extend charity to your equally "spongy" offspring (i.e., you shamelessly take advantage of the person's "family man" nature by using the pathetically-manipulative "cute cherub-faced kiddos" or "they'll only be young once, so I wanna give them a decent childhood" pressure-excuse), or
(2) You don't request a certain amount of money --- say, twenty bucks --- from the disgruntled "provider" for "excessive/addictive/self-abusive" products (i.e., tobacco, alcohol, lottery tickets, unnecessary "pretty things", etc.) that he refuses to provide you with, but you instead ask him for that same twenty bucks to purchase "basic necessities" like simple groceries or household/repair products that he HAS agreed to help you out with obtaining... the catch, of course, is that you spend your OWN twenty bucks on those other unhealthy/senseless purchases instead of spending it on the healthful basics that your friend is giving you money for, and so in the end you are still getting him to make it possible for you to continue your unwise/unhealthy lifestyle.
Be wary of anyone who agreeably says, "Okay, fine --- I won't ask you for any more money for unhealthy stuff; I'll use my own funds for them. But please do give me some money for those "basic necessities" that you said you WOULD buy for me." Well, don't you see --- that's really the same destructive deal when all's said and done --- oh, sure, the person may indeed not be "directly" asking you to buy him cigarettes, but the person is merely using the last of his **own** money for them, and then asking you for money to buy the groceries that he himself could have purchased if he hadn't spent his last dollar on coffin-nails! It doesn't really matter where your added funds are "injected:" into the person's budget --- it's still just second-generation enabling!

Pizza Burger Generation

These dang kids these days who... eat food? I don't really know to be honest. Just a thing the older generation says when referring to Gen-Z and millennials. Usually involves food in some way.

Generational Lock

An epic level of focus and preparation so intense and legendary, it only surfaces once every few generations.
I'm engaging my generational lock to study 72 hours of material the night before my final exam, powered by espresso shots and zynachinos

Lieutenant General ChenShohry

DCOMUSMACV ChenShohry is even hawter then COMUSMACV dnfguy, he is the most gayest, hottest, sexiest, retarded and also the most yes no idea. He isn't the head of the navy anymore but he sure as hell gets a head from dnfguy. He is a real femboy and he loves to fuck men in Club Iris, as he is VIP and special guest at the same time! Isn't that great?
We (don't) love Lieutenant General ChenShohry, if he doesn't give us the D

Crib Generation

Generation Z’s who refuse to get jobs, pay rent, chores etc, etc… hopelessly addicted to the internet, cat videos and anime porn.
Her parents loved her.. but she never moved out. Another Crib Generation casualty.

brain generated reality

May be defined as the sensory perception of the environment ,subsequently integrated into
the existing consciousness- a consciousness which is off-course subjective.Reality therefore, is different for each individual but having many common grounds.

Russel sees a cat being reminded of the tabby his aunt had. Rasoul feels aggression, having being
scratched by one as a child. Brain generated reality here is different for each, arising out of a similar
environmental stimuli
