time and relative dimensions in space

T.A.R.D.I.S. It refers to the Gallifreyan time and space travel capsule which is dimensionally transcendental (bigger on the inside). The most common example is the one used by the Gallifreyan Time Lord known as "The Doctor", that is permanently disguised as a 1960s police telephone box.

Susan: I made up the name TARDIS from the initials - Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.

Moral relativism

Moral relativism is the philosophy that there are no objective moral standards at any place or any time

Mark:Murder is objectively wrong

John:that's not true sometimes murder is morally justified

Mark:How?!
John: well in my moral relativism nothing is objectively right or wrong.

Relative Awkwardness

Mostly happens around Thanksgiving or Christmas time when you see your family relatives you haven't seen in a year and it's completely awkward and you have nothing to talk about.

Sitting at the thanksgiving table causally eating my pumpkin pie with my relatives, we have nothing to talk about, its relative awkwardness

relative futility

As it pertains to economic "Law of Diminishing Returns", and Maslow
relative futility is the measure of fucks you are obligated to risk on

a useless venture.
This is reached when the odds of a return on the investment = LESS THAN ZERO

The relative futility of meeting an active brain cell in this dump is absolute,

so I save 10 bucks if I PASS on that useless venture!
Karmic return = Finding 8$ STNG Collector's set "Dixon Hill" and "Gloria"
at nerd shop down the street = "SO MUCH WIN"

cultural relativism

The idea that a person's beliefs should not be used to judge another culture.

Person 1: That country is disgusting with their ritual baby murders, female genital mutalation, and torturing of innocent people.

Person 2: Man, you have no cultural relativism! Don't use your humanitarian values to judge another culture!

relative motion nigger theory

When one nigger runs, all the other niggers within a 20-meter radius also run because they assume a white police officer is chasing him.

Bob: "Why do all niggers run together even though none of them committed a crime? It takes fucking forever to sort them out at the police station and half the time we just charge all of them with rape."

John: "Thats the relative motion nigger theory in full effect."
