defectomancy

The art of becoming so conversant in the bugs of a commercial software platform that you are able to achieve desired functionality by exploiting said bugs. The defectomancer's weapon of choice is the Cludge. Her abilities are enhanced when operating in under-patched environments lacking official vendor support. She can easily be countered by employing the tactics of intelligent software acquisition and management. Despite these weaknesses the defectomancer has made enterprise domains her natural habitat.

Using her skills in defectomancy, Sally saved an invalid value to an inexplicably non-nullable date field so that it would display N/A instead of an arbitrary date when no date was to be entered in that field.

Deceptionomics

The study of the nature, grammatics, presentational parameters, and metrics of purposely deceptive online headlines, graphics, and other engineered messages intended principally to mislead the viewer into clicking online links that benefit the deceptor financially, politically, or socially.

The deceptionomics of that website doesn't allow it to permit an iota of truth to emerge.

Deceptionomically, it wouldn't make sense for the candidate to concede the truth of even a part of the allegations.

deflecting douche

The kind of person who uses esoteric phrases not in common parlance who when questioned tells you to google them rather than explaining themselves.

Rather than tell the detective what he meant by someone being "washed" he instead told him to google it like the deflecting douche he was.

standard deduction

The traditional Lenten sacrifice of abstinence from non-seafood meat (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, etc.), as opposed to any additional sacrifice like chocolate, beer, video games, or sex.

GF: Are you gonna give up playing Guitar Hero for Lent?
BF: Hells no, I gotta finish it in hard. I'll just take the standard deduction.
GF: Step aside, then. I just need to beat "Knights of Cydonia" in expert to finish the game. Nooch!
