Latrant

Latrant – A versatile insult used to describe someone who is fake, weird, or generally untrustworthy. A “bitch ass nigga” can be considered a latrant. It can also refer to a frustrating or messed-up situation that feels ridiculous or unfair, like being stuck in a “latrant ass” situation.

Example 1:
Bro 1: “Dam that guy just scammed us”
Bro 2: “Yea he a lil latrant”
Bro 1: “for real he a latrant ass nigga”

Example 2:

“Yo bro come help me im in some latrant ass shit right now”

Laboratory Bias

A systemic flaw where data and phenomena observed in controlled, simplified laboratory conditions fail to accurately represent their behavior in the messy, complex, and interconnected real world. This bias arises because labs deliberately isolate variables and eliminate "noise," which often strips away the very contextual forces that shape outcomes in nature, society, or technology. The lab result is "true" only within its sterile vacuum, creating a potentially dangerous illusion of understanding that cracks under real-world pressures. It's the map that's perfectly accurate for a single, empty room, but useless for navigating a city.

Example: A social psychology study on altruism conducted in a lab with college students playing for token rewards might show people are fairly cooperative. This Laboratory Bias would completely miss how altruism collapses under real-world stresses like economic scarcity, tribal politics, or anonymous online interactions. The lab finding is valid, but its translation to reality is broken.

Lateral Copy

Sharing an article from the Internet while bypassing a paywall.
If you are a member and receive an interesting article, but your friend cannot read it because they are not a member, what do you do? You copy the article “by hand”, put it back together nicely and send it to the friend. This is a lateral copy.

Another great article that J. will be interested in. But the link is useless to him: he's not a member. I'll have to make him a lateral copy again.
