Peterson Level of Abstraction

A level of specificity too specific to be of concern to a layperson, but that is often discussed at great length by those concerned with minute details of the subject matter.

A: "But if the transmutation statute requiring written evidence kicks in after 1985, you can rebut the 1984 Anti-Lucas joint tenancy presumption written requirement with an oral or implied transmutation agreement from 1984 through 1985. And conversely, the oral or written rebuttal before the 1987 Anti-Lucas Joint Title Presumption can overcome the transmutation requirement from 1985 through 1987, right guys?"

B: "I guess... but do we really need to know all that? That sounds like a Peterson Level of Abstraction you're getting to there."

entry level

In terms of music, it's used to describe bands/artists that are either mainstream, or most generic, in their specific genre/style. It's mainly used to describe underground and common unexplored genres.

Mogwai and Sigur Ros are very entry level post-rock.

mid level bully

a mid level bully is someone who is soft of big and sort of cool. He is a kid in high school who takes a little bit of shit from the most popular kids but takes it out on the majority of kids smaller then him.

Mike was captain of the football team and kicks everyone's ass, David isn't as athletic but he is a mid level bully makes some underclassmen fell like shit.

Exit-level

Something that is the opposite of "entry-level." Seen used to describe a band or musician, relative to other bands in the same genre; to poke fun at trendy kids who constantly need to remind everyone how obscure their musical tastes are.

So, today I was totally listening to this one instrumental-avant-garde-progressive-post-metal band. You've probably never heard about them though, they are so.. exit-level.

nerd level

Ranked on a scale of nerdiness from 1 to 5. 1 being generally accepted, and 5 being social reject/basement dweller. Anime ranking 4, and Star Trek a 3.5. An exception being Babylon 5, which is a whopping 4.5 on the scale.

"Great. Babylon 5 is on!" "ah, crap. Im a nerd!"
