Ortholysis

(noun): the wrapping around of a mathematical function under transformation into a higher nth-dimensional space where n > 2 and n ∈ ℤ+. This twisting occurs typically when a 2D function is integrated by rotating about the x-axis in order to find the volume of the 3rd-dimensional shape.

Ortholysis is used to describe this behaviour in various different sub-branches of integral calculus. The origin of this word is still unknown. However, this neologism was rumoured to have been coined by a Romanian scientist and mathematician. i

Student: "Would the integral of y=−ze^x about the x-axis give you some sort of pulsar-like ortholysis spirally thing?"
Teacher: "Sort of. It depends on your limits and of course the fact that your equation doesn't consider that a pulsar visualisation with that equation would be rotating about the y-axis!"
Teacher: "And also the fact that the center of mass is not represented accurately in any way and you'd need to make it asymptotic."

Orthodox Celts

An awesome band from Serbia which plays Irish music. Their frontman is called Aca Celtic (Aca is pronounced "Azza", like "pizza" with an A instead of PI) and he rocks. Most of their songs are in English, and they make their own songs (like "Far Away") as well as playing old Irish ones (like "Rocky Road to Dublin").

Aca Celtic was once bullied by one of his teachers in high school and then came back with his crew and dumped the bastard in a garbage container.
Orthodox Celts usually make a New Year concert every year in Serbia.

outbollocksed

To have triumphed in a battle that was reduced to matter of testicular fortitude. To produce a bollock of greater volume when confronted with an adversary of supposed superior masculinity.

While it is mainly used to describe events occurring in a sporting field of play, it would not be out of place when describing events in a theatre of war, a dance off or a game of scrabble.

Gambler 1: did you hear about Rafael Nadal yesterday?

Gambler 2: huh!? no i didnt man, what happened?

Gambler 1: Croat dude named Ivan Dodig beat him in 3 at Montreal Masters.

Gambler 2: hahahah bull**** man you're taking the mick

Gambler 1: no joke bro, Nadal was up 5-3 serving in the 3rd set, but nadal didn't choke... Dodig totally outbollocksed him.

orthogonal

Used to describe two things that are independent of each other. One does not imply the other.

Common sense and intelligence are orthogonal. I've seen plenty of smart people with no common sense.

orthogender

Orthogender individuals have a match between the gender they were assigned at birth, their bodies, and their personal identity. Orthogender is in contrast to transgender.

Jane doesn't see any conflict between her interest in previously male-only topics and being happily orthogendered.
