realpolitik

A term to describe or prescribe politics based on strictly practical rather than idealistic notions, and practiced without any sentimental illusions.
In Germany, the term Realpolitik is more often used to distinguish modest (realistic) politics from overzealeous (unrealistic) politics. That Prussia didn't demand territory from defeated Austria provided the impetus for coining this term, as was the sometimes very slow or indirect steps towards German unification under Prussia. Realistic compromises are reached instead of clinging to values like justice or nationalism.

In the United States, the policy of Realpolitik was formally introduced to the Nixon White House by Henry Kissinger. In this context, the policy meant dealing with other powerful nations in a practical manner rather than on the basis of political doctrine or ethics — for instance, Nixon's diplomacy with the People's Republic of China, despite the U.S.'s purported opposition to communism and the previous doctrine of containment. Another example is Kissinger's 'green lighting' of dictator Suharto's invasion of East Timor.

Realbook

The opposite of Facebook, where people don't share their personal fucking bullshit online.
Realbook is having friendships in-person, not having to deal with people's fake lives online. An advantage of Realbook? Real friends, not fb friends. "It's official, they're dating, it says so on fb... (that's when the author shoots himself...)"

realmobile

A realmobile is a four-wheeled (although, in some cases an eighteen-wheeled) vehicle that is operated and occupied by persons considered real. A realmobile is easily spotted, especially when driving past one on a highway or freeway, as every person in an observing vehicle will immediately come to their senses and be strongly attracted to the realmobile. Aside from this influence that a realmobile has on observers, are the physical characteristics of a realmobile. Generally, a realmobile is a low-set mercedes-benz, maserati, bentley, or any other high-value car. In many instances, abnormally large clouds of smoke may be expelled from a realmobile at any given time and usually occurs repeatedly, as if it were following the rhythm of a breath. Another common characteristic, is the lack of child-safety windows. Most often the windows will be completely rolled down, and passengers tend to keep one of their hands hanging outside their respectable window. To distinguish an authentic realmobile from a fake realmobile, one may look for a very expensive wristwatch on the hand of either a passenger or the operator of the vehicle, as the authentic realmobiles are generally operated and occupied by people with high wealth.
This is how you can visualize a realmobile.

Jim: "Dang, I'm glad you just bought this Nissan Altima. It's pretty comfortable!"

Tom: "Yeah dude, it's the shit!"

Jim: "... yeah. So, where did you take your chick last night?"

Tom: "Well, after she got back fro..."

*short silence occurs, and a black mercedes kompressor drives along side Jim and Tom, shaking the rear-view-mirror-ornament as it blares raw underground hiphop music*

Jim: "..."

Tom: "..."

*a couple minutes pass, as Tom and Jim enjoy a comfortable and peaceful silence driving through the city, taking in the sounds and smells of stores and restaraunts*

Jim: "You should have got a mercedes"

Tom: "Douchebag"

Readophile

A person, usually an outcast from society, who has become excessively involved in various forms of lolicon material and accused of being a closet pedophile.
A very important part of the status as a Readophile is that they are in denial of being one, nobody can willingly be a
Readophile.
It is important that the Readophile insists that it is OK for them to obsess over what is essentially child pornography because the material is drawn, regardless of how they truly feel about real people and whether they are actually attracted to children.
"Alex has been absolutely obsessed with lolicon ever since he first got onto the internet, and he's a total readophile too."
