Post-Shit 

A category that references what is left after a shitpost. Mening a text that is influenced by and has all the trappings of a shitpost: camp, kitsch, blown out aesthetics and clearly delirious plot or premises, but that takes out all of the levity associated with it, instead, we are meant to take it seriously and even dourly, instead of laughing along with it. Authorial intent bears some relevance to the proper application of this category, meaning that it is necessary for the author of the work to have imbued the text with these qualities, rather than their presence being unintentional (e.g. The Room)

Some precursors of the genre might be, as works bearing very little verisimilitude and over the top aesthetically, which present themselves as earnest works:
- Collapse, by nick land
- Unknown death 2002, by yung lean
"Have you heard Brat, by Charli XCX? I saw the cover art and thought it was a shitpost, but then all of the songs, even though they bear a lot of resemblance with the aesthetics of rave culture shitpost memes, are really earsnest, come even deep and moving."
"yeah man, thats because it's not a shit post, it's post-shit"

Post-Shower Clarity 

Realizing you fucked up while getting out of the shower.

It's also another way to say you got a good idea from showering.
Alex figured out how to ask out the girl he liked without panic thanks to post-shower clarity!

Post hoc rationalization 

Funny how it isn't good enough when it comes to the rape-porn...
Hym "But you will take any post hoc rationalization to justify a years long surveillance and harassment campaign that resembles the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia. And that's all this is. 'Rage-baiting' until you can generate some post hoc rationalization for what you wanted to do from the get-go which was 'ruin somebody's life.' And it can't be allowed to happen. It doesn't matter what I said about your kids or what I said about your religion or rape because when someone does it to your pastor and he goes to a costume warehouse and then takes a trip down to your local senator's house... SOMEONE is going to wish someone would have pulled the lever to the trolly at some point down the antecedent chain. But you are trying to condemn people into living a ruined life by democratic fiat or arbitrary whim. And as you can see from the gif below... You are not doing what you need to do to contain the pandemic. And no me threatening your kids does not make you more rational than you actually are which is 'not at all.' So the does need to end the weaponization. FOR ME. AND NOW. They need to do their job and play ref because the score is still X-0 and it's not even a game."

Post-Execution Steamcore (PESC) 

A fringe subgenre of the totally real* musical movement known as Steamcore, characterized by an unholy alliance of industrial chaos, absurd performance art, and oddly specific sound requirements.

A proper PESC track must contain:

The sound of wet meat being slapped (meat drum, steak percussion, etc.)

Throat chanting in any language (preferably unknown)

Vague, alien-sounding nouns and verbs

At least one coherent spoken line that makes sense grammatically but has zero context

Screams, bells, or random telephone rings

At least one unorthodox instrument (e.g., tires, coat hangers, ball-peen hammers, spoons)

Steam noises, because Steamcore

Something called a polyphonic rupture, which nobody understands but everyone agrees sounds important

PESC is allegedly post-execution because it’s “what music sounds like after the final curtain,” according to self-declared genre prophet Fateswhim.

*Totally real in the same way Bigfoot’s Spotify is real.
“Bro, this track slapped — literally, there’s a guy hitting steaks in 7/8 time over a steam hiss while someone in the background keeps yelling about moose prophecy. 100% Post-Execution Steamcore (PESC)”

Post Disclosure Clarity 

the regret, anxiety, clarity, and dissatisfaction one feels after disclosing something they in hindsight feel they shouldn’t have
I told my mom whats been going on with my boyfriend, she immediately started lecturing me, I just needed to get it off my chest and you didn't answer the phone, Im having hella post disclosure clarity (PDC) right now.

Post Trans action hooker 

post-trans-action-hooker (noun) A metaphor for a cleanup script that calls back after a package manager finishes installing software—pretending to be part of the transaction, but really just showing up to sweep the icon cache and emotionally haunt the logs.

Example Usage:

“Pacman finished updating, then the post-trans-action-hooker called back to clear the GTK cache. I thought we were done.”

Top Definition Commentary:

She wasn’t part of the transaction.

She didn’t sign the manifest.

She just called back.

To clean up.

To linger.

To emotionally validate the install.

Example Usage:

“Pacman finished updating, then the post-trans-action-hooker called back to clear the GTK cache. I thought we were done.”
