Asstration

The act of clenching your sphincter so tight during anal intercourse that your partner's penis is removed.

A play on words of ass and castration.

lyrical abstraction

Lyrical Abstraction in painting is an opening to personal expression. The term was originally coined by Larry Aldrich 1; other sources sustain that it was Jean José Marchand and Georges Mathieu who first used the term Abstraction Lyrique in 1947 in Paris. The name "Tachisme" is sometimes used to describe this movement.

Some notable painters "inspired" in this "style" are: Wassily Kandinsky considered one of the fathers of abstraction, Paul Klee, Frank Kupka, Robert Delaunay, Mordecai Ardon, Norman Bluhm, Jean René Bazaine, Hans Hartung, Wols, Max Bill, Gunther Gerzso, Huguette Arthur Bertrand, Georges Mathieu, Jean Miotte, Ronnie Landfield and Stefan Fiedorowicz.

The emotion in my work comes from somewhere deep down, and can speak to the inner part of each person... My work is intuitive; colour is the language that I use to express an emotion. It is the interaction of colour that interests me. Stefan Fiedorowicz.
Stefan Fiedorowicz

I am a colourist who has followed the lyrical abstraction movement and I use color to convey something personal and internal... Why I choose certain objects to paint and how I illustrate them is a mystery to me. I do not think about it too much. Certain objects are close to me because of what they mean to me or what they look like, their shape. I simplify them and sometimes combine them into pleasing arrangements. I like working over the canvas surface over and over again because most of the time I am not sure of what I want, especially my abstracts done with thick colourful oils and wall scrapers. 1

austruation

austruation; (f); noun;

The term "austruation" is derived from "Austria" and a female's monthly cycle of pain, also referred to as "menstruation".

It ought to describe an Austrian citizen's craving for relevance in the modern world, metaphorically 'bleeding' ever since the aftermath of WW1 and WW2.
Often comes with a slight longing for a fourth Reich.
Person A: "I heard rumors that this Austrian guy from our history class is some sort of neo-nazi."
Person B: "Don't judge him for his austruation, he can't do anything about it."
