Generational Curse

A phenomenon where a generation of humans makes the same crippling decisions as the generation before them. Examples include: 1) having kids, because your parents, aunts, uncles and most everyone else in your family had them, most likely at an early age, thus minimizing their chance to live a life they actually wanted and now are living a life to serve their offspring. And your parents are pressuring you for grandchildren, even though you are barely making ends meet for yourself, what with working full time and being a full-time student.

2) Not saving for a retirement, rainy day, etc. Instead, you spend your money on a new pair of shoes every month, clothes, Amazon, eBay, and thinking paying $2600 for a one bedroom apartment for the rest of your life is OK. When you find yourself unemployed and broke, you lame everyone but yourself.
Sean just can't stop having kids. 28 years old and already he has 4 kids with 3 different women. This generational curse is going to leave him just like his dad: living paycheck to paycheck, making just enough to get by, trying to feed a small army of his offspring.

Generation Dead

Generation Dead is a young adult romance/supernatural novel by Daniel Waters. I follows a girl named Phoebe and her best friends, Margi and Adam, whose world has been left baffled by a strange phenomenon...dead teenagers not staying dead. For reasons unknown, a small number of the teenage dead are returning to 'life'. They lack a heartbeat and all other traditional life-signs, but are capable of thought, movement and speech (to varying extents). They are widely feared by the living, despite the fact that they do not present a threat, but Phoebe finds herself attracted to Tommy Williams, one of the "living impaired" teens at her school.
Did you read Generation Dead? I thought that it portrayed issues of prejudice in modern day society very well.

generalized abstract nonsense

The term "generalized abstract nonsense" is usually jokingly (and endearingly) applied to topics in mathematics of very high abstraction level, mostly category theory. It probably refers to the fact that some concepts in category theory can abstract away so far from the actual mathematical structures that are described as to lose all connection to the actual meat of the matter.
