The edge horizon

The point in edging, or in other stimulation, activities where orgasm becomes unavoidable.

Fuck. I passed the edge horizon and now I know im going to have to clean up.

Tallarico Event Horizon

When an individual lies or grossly exaggerates so often that it becomes difficult to determine whether what they're saying is true, a joke, or utterly false.

Originally coined by the YouTuber hbomberguy in his video "ROBLOX_OOF.mp3" while discussing the alleged lies of American video game music composer Tommy Tallarico.

"Jonathon's lies have been so profuse that his claim to have met the President with a picture of him posing Infront of a wax statue has crossed the Tallarico Event Horizon."

Forza Horizon 6

A game that is going to make every mindless JDM fanboy wet themselves because of the fact that it’s going to be set in Japan.

I am not excited for Forza Horizon 6.

Scientific Fusion of Horizons

A concept borrowed from Gadamer's hermeneutics and applied to science: the idea that understanding occurs when the horizon of the researcher (their assumptions, methods, questions) fuses with the horizon of the phenomenon (its history, context, behavior) or with the horizon of another researcher. This fusion isn't about one horizon replacing the other—it's about creating a new, enlarged horizon that includes both. Interdisciplinary collaboration, cross-cultural research, even new paradigms emerge from these fusions. The Fusion of Horizons is science as dialogue, as meeting, as transformation on both sides.

"My Western medical training fused with my patients' traditional healing knowledge—not one replacing the other, but both transforming into something new. Scientific Fusion of Horizons: when you stop explaining and start understanding across difference, and neither side comes out the same."

Epistemological Fusion of Horizons

A concept borrowed from Gadamer's hermeneutics: the idea that understanding occurs when the horizon of the knower (their assumptions, history, questions) fuses with the horizon of the known (the phenomenon's context, meaning, history) or with the horizon of another knower. This fusion isn't about one horizon replacing the other—it's about creating a new, enlarged horizon that includes both. Genuine understanding, deep knowledge across difference, emerges from these fusions. It's epistemology as dialogue, as meeting, as transformation on both sides.

"I thought I understood my parents' generation until I actually listened—really listened—and felt my horizon shift. Epistemological Fusion of Horizons: not me explaining them, not them explaining me, but both of us transformed into a new understanding that neither had alone. That's not just learning—that's knowing across difference."

Scientific Horizon of Expectation

A concept adapted from literary theory (Jauss) for science: the framework of assumptions, theories, and prior knowledge that scientists bring to their research, shaping what they expect to find and what they're capable of seeing. Your horizon determines which questions seem worth asking, which data seem relevant, which explanations seem plausible. Breakthroughs occur when evidence shatters the horizon, forcing a new one. Scientific progress isn't just accumulating facts—it's the continuous expansion and revision of the horizon within which facts make sense.

"Before plate tectonics, geologists saw continental fit as coincidence—their Scientific Horizon of Expectation couldn't accommodate moving continents. The evidence was always there; they couldn't see it until the horizon shifted. Your horizon is not reality—it's just where you're standing."

Epistemological Horizon of Expectation

The framework of assumptions, beliefs, and prior knowledge that any knower brings to an encounter with the unknown. You can't approach anything fresh—you always come with expectations shaped by your history, culture, language, and experience. These horizons make knowledge possible (they provide the categories for understanding) and limit knowledge (they blind you to what doesn't fit). Epistemological growth isn't escaping your horizon—it's expanding it, fusing with others, and remaining aware that you always see from somewhere.

"You keep being surprised when people don't see what seems obvious to you. Epistemological Horizon of Expectation: they have a different horizon. Their assumptions, history, and experience shape what they can see. It's not stupidity—it's different standing points. Learn their horizon or stay confused."
