Behavioral Surplus

The phrase “behavioral surplus” is central to the subject of Shoshana Zuboff’s 2019 book “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.” The author is a professor emerita at the Harvard Business School. Here is Zuboff’s description of the term in the book’s Introduction:

“Surveillance capitalism unilaterally claims human experience as free raw material for translation into behavioral data. Although some of these data are applied to product or service improvement, the rest are declared as proprietary ‘behavioral surplus,’ fed into advanced manufacturing processes known as ‘machine intelligence,’ and fabricated into ‘prediction products’ that anticipate what you will do now, sooner and later. Finally, these prediction products are traded in a new kind of marketplace for behavioral predictions that I call ‘behavioral futures markets.’” (Terms highlighted with single quote marks are italicized in the original.)

Because of the way the term is discussed in the book it’s likely it originated early this century in the bowels of Google as the company searched for a way to reliably monetize their search engine. They found one.

“The shift of economies of scope defines a new set of aims: behavioral surplus must be vast, but it must also be varied.” ibid., p 199

Well behaved

When someone tells you to be well behaved it means dont be fucking annoying. You can be anything you want just dont get on peoples nerves. If being yourself means you will be a cunt, dont come to the party.

Grace was drunk at the party but at least she was "well behaved"

Behaviour

Behavio(u)r = English Correct
Behavi(or) = American Incorrect

Ron: Hey, I’m going to Urban Behavior; I’ve got to buy some Jeans. I’ll talk to you later.
James: You mean behaviour?
Ron: Huh? Why do you English people have the extra vowel in there? It doesn’t make sense!
James: The extra vowel, in most cases, is silent, but American brains can’t handle the extra task in figuring that out. Plus, that’s the original English way we’ve always spelled behaviour, but thanks to Noah Webster, he decided to get creative, one day, and misspell our words. That’s very unoriginal!
Ron: I thought English came from America?
James: ENG-lish came from ENG-land, way before America was even a country.
Ron: Whatever, bye!

Beale

To reduce to the state of “having nothing left” - Having no useful function.

Inspired by Ian Beale's iconic scene from Eastenders.

*Gets killed in a video game* - “Eee wew I’ve just been purely bealed”

*Is drunk* - “I’m so bealed I can’t see properly”

"Hey Uncle Sleeve, how did your video gaming session go?", "It was great, we epically bealed the opponents and were therefore the victors"
