An obscure magician’s misdirect. Dates back to the late 1800’s, invented by William Radley and named after famed magician Howard Thurston. Involved creating a spectacle to draw people’s attention, and then using deft pickpocketing skills (digits) to nick as many valuables as possible while people were distracted.

Get the digital cougarmug. A phone number you give/get from a girl/guy the morning after you sleep with him/her even though you have absolutely no intention of calling him/her ever again, but it makes the whole goodbye thing way less awkward

The creation of and with the aid and or assistance of computer aided programs to manipulate conventional art such as but not limited to physical acrylic & oil painting pen & ink graphic illustrations. In using computer aided programs and in using them they the programs manipulate and deface the original artwork from its original renditions to create worthless heaps of bytes that cannot be nor ever be original as would be the case with original renditions created by means of labors of the heart to hand as seen in original physical acrylic & oil painting pen & ink graphic illustrations. In all works created solely by means of computer aided programs are not true artistic renditions worthy of being considered art in the contemporary sense.

Get the Digital Noisemug. When the media uses people of colour in ads, magazines, etc. and lightens their skin in an effort to be more "marketable" read: white and "appealing" read: white to a larger white audience.
