Thinkering

A portmanteau of "thinking" and "tinkering". Means to think about something by tinkering with objects relating to the problem under consideration. Usually unguided, exploratory and individual, often a very good way to explore aspects of difficult problems or to find solutions where none are obvious. In other words, an active form of thinking.

Akin to solving a puzzle (like a rubiks cube) by trying to solve it rather than just sitting and staring at it.

Bob is thinkering again, wonder if he'll finally figure out how to get that perpetual motion machine back together again?

Critical Thinking

To be able to think outside of the box. To understand both sides of the arguement fully iregardless of which side your arguing from, to give you a full perspective of the whole dispute hence enabling inteligent thinking. To be able to think for your self without the influence of anything. To be able to make decisions and form your own opinions without any influence form anything else. Thinking for your self and realising when you are wrong and when you are right.

Having a clear understanding of the main attributes for critical thinking as stated above are the main attributes for critical thinking.

Person 1: How do you know your religion is true and that there is a God?

Person 2 (a critical thinking reply): I believe because i was brought up to believe what i believe and i have respect for what i beleive in and my religion, on the other hand i understand where your coming from and i value ur opinion and question, what are your ideas and philosies of a greater being ?

Person 1: How can u belive in God when u cant see him or anything ?

Person 2: it is what i choose to believe in just like you choose not believe but i value and respect your opinion on the subject .

as you can see person 2 was open to criticism about believing in God and he replied understanding the other persons arguement and had respect for it. To be able to think critically you have to respect your fellow human beings opinions and thought process in order to understand him/her properly.

Don't think it's sweet

Do not think that everything is okay & straight ...

- because you haven't gotten your ass beat AS PROMISED
- because you haven't received the consequences for your shit talking

(when speaking to someone that KNOWS you don't like them & want to beat their ass, & WILL)

Alicia (or any fake ass bitch who WANTS to be a bad bitch but isn't quite there) - "ummmmm keep my name out your mouth"

A BAD BITCH - "EXCUSE ME? Don't think it's sweet"

They Think It's All Over

Massively popular phrase used all the time in England to describe that exhilerating moment just before a big event like a victory or a total fuck-up. Comes from the famous commentary in the closing moments of the 1966 World Cup Final - "Some people are on the pitch ... they think it's all over (Geoff Hurst scores to put England two goals ahead)... IT IS NOW!". England beat West Germany 4-2 after extra time to become world champions. Too bad we can't do the business on the pitch these days...

"Look over there - Dave's breaking up with Donna. They Think It's All Over...it is now".
