aphanisis

Subjective destitution; an experience of oneself as excremental (a piece of shit) and worthless, and of being eclipsed by the objet petit a. An experience of the breakdown of one's sense of one's own value when overshadowed by the external locus of one's desires.

It is a concept in Lacanian psychoanalysis which is also sometimes used in cultural studies. It is a crucial component of Zizek's concept of the Act.

Victims of terrorist kidnappings may undergo aphanisis and end up identifying with their captors (the so-called "Helsinki Syndrome").

it appears to be what it appears to be

The true alternative to the lame "it is what it is", because truly nothing is what it is, it can only appear to be that.

I cant stand the phrase "it is what it is" because things are only what it appears to be what it appears to be.

Cameo Appearance

A Cameo Appearance, is when someone attends a function / event they are invited to for a short period of time. A Cameo appearance is made when you can’t really be fucked turning up, but do so to stop being ribbed by the boys for being weak as piss.

One often makes a Cameo appearance, when they are only allowed out of the house for short periods of time. A Cameo appearance is used to keep both the boys and the Mrs happy.

“ Roger you’re not going away for the whole Queens birthday weekend are you? “

“No my love, I will just make a Cameo appearance.”

Appearance/Cosmetic

A group of 10 to 15 year old boys on Honda-Tech that aspire to own pink and orange Japanese economy cars and 48" chrome "spinna" rims. Additionally, there are also a disproportionately large group of 20-somethings that feel painting and applying decals and wings to a used Japanese car is quite possibly the best way to pick up a new "baby momma" after the old one has sold her body for crack.

"Wow! Did you see that Civic? It's got so many wings and worthless junk on it that the loser must be a graduate of Appearance/Cosmetic!"
