Touch the source

To smoke marijuana. "The source" can also be used to describe anything essentially good, similarly to "lit"

We are going to go surfing but first we gotta touch the source.

This pizza is the source.

Stank on the source code

To put stank on the source code is to use mystical and ancient knowledge of IT to fix or improve the function of electronics.
If you've ever had a problem with your computer, and your geeky friend fixed it seemingly by magic, that's when you know that they dropped some stank on the source code.

Person 1: Woah man, are you watching porn in 8k?
Person 2: Yeah dude, I dropped some pretty serious stank on the source code, and now I can stream anal porn in ultra high quality

Person 1: My phone is so slow. I think I need to update my software
Person 2: Fuck that brah, just put some stank on the source code!

Confidential Human Source

A Confidential Human Source, or CHS, is an informant who covertly provides information to law enforcement about criminals and their activities. Their names are withheld from official law enforcement reports and documents to protect their identities.

Some critics of law enforcement claim that some instances of an alleged CHS are a mere fabrication, and there never was an actual human who provided the information. These critics claim that in such cases where the law enforcement agents fabricated the CHS did so as justification for a search warrant or other similar legalities of an investigation.

The FBI claimed they were told about the drug ring by a Confidential Human Source.

Labour is the source of all wealth

A statement uttered by Marxists infected by the spectre of Lassalle. This notion completely ignores the fact that nature contains use-values, which Marx notes in his "Critique of the Gotha Programme". (quite literally the first page)

Person 1: "Labour is the source of all wealth"
Person 2: "Lassalle, you je-

Move the Sourcepost

The advanced technique of shifting the standard for what counts as an acceptable source after the initial source has been provided. First, they demand a source. You provide a mainstream news outlet. They say mainstream media is biased. You provide a peer-reviewed study. They say academia is corrupt. You provide government data. They say the government lies. You provide firsthand video evidence. They say it's deepfake. The sourcepost keeps moving because the real demand is not for evidence but for agreement, and no source will ever be acceptable if it contradicts what they already believe. Moving the sourcepost is the debate equivalent of running away while claiming you're still fighting.

Move the Sourcepost Example: "He demanded a source for climate change. She provided NASA data. He moved the sourcepost, saying NASA was part of the government and couldn't be trusted. She provided university research. He said universities were liberal. She provided international scientific consensus. He said scientists were in it for the grants. She asked what source he would accept. He said 'common sense.' The sourcepost had moved beyond the reach of evidence entirely."

Moving the Sourcepost

The practice of constantly shifting source requirements—when a source is provided, demanding a better one; when a better one is provided, demanding a different kind; when that's provided, demanding something else. Moving the Sourcepost is the dynamic version of Source Sophism: the goalposts never stop moving because stopping would mean engagement. It's a tactic of infinite regress, designed to exhaust opponents and avoid ever having to accept a source as sufficient.

"She provided a study. 'Need something more recent.' She found a recent meta-analysis. 'Need primary sources.' She found primary data. 'Need independent verification.' She found independent studies. 'Need something from this specific journal.' Moving the Sourcepost: evidence as chase scene, proof as infinite regress. The post never stopped moving because stopping meant admitting she was right."
