generalized abstract nonsense

The term "generalized abstract nonsense" is usually jokingly (and endearingly) applied to topics in mathematics of very high abstraction level, mostly category theory. It probably refers to the fact that some concepts in category theory can abstract away so far from the actual mathematical structures that are described as to lose all connection to the actual meat of the matter.

Yoneda's lemma is just generalized abstract nonsense.

Genderalization

"My gynecologist cancelled my appointment"

generalite

One who spends most of their time on the NationStates General Forum.

Also, a word that always makes me think of Gentile. Don't ask.

The Generalites came up with a motto, I think, but I can't remember what it is.

generative elections

“Now they have this augmentation via generative AI, which can make the fake stuff more believable, easier to generate, faster.” AI is coming for our elections. 2024 is going to be the cycle of deep fakes, AI speeches, and "election fraud" being yelled from the losing side.

In 2024 the generative elections were spoofed by LLMs simply making sh*t up.
