Dirty Van Buren

When a man and a woman engage in anal sex, then the man takes his penis out and smacks the woman on each side of the face giving her fecal sideburns so she looks like Martin Van Buren.

Post anal sex, the man pulled out, slapped her each side of the face with his dick giving her a dirty van buren.

Bureaucromancy

A practice of divination based on the outcome of the random and indeterminate bureaucratic process.

"I am torn between moving out of town or staying here. After the ancient rites of bureaucromancy have been performed, I shall be informed of my destiny, most likely by a form letter."
