correctify

A portmanteau of correct and rectify.

To correctify something means to obsessively nitpick over details which in the pointy-headed purist's mind are so torturously annoying that he can't help but speak up about it. The significance of such details, however, is pure truthiness.

A behavior commonly associated with period nazis in the SCA and other medieval-recreation societies and LARPs.
Madus as they are used in the Amtgard LARP are hardly recognizable as "actual" madus, yet you'll often see players correctifying each other about what "real" madus should look like.

Correctile Disfunction

Refusal to proof read an essay, because it's taken you so long to do/is so boring/is so close to the deadline that you can't be bothered/don't have time to read it again and correct errors.

Commonly experienced at university where there is a frequent need to produce large bodies of work on boring subjects.
Dam, I didn't get 40% in my essay. I'm sure it was awesome when I wrote it.

What do the tutors comments say?

"Constant spelling errors throughout. Totally detracted from the subject, essay does not make any sense."

Dude, didn't you proof read that shit? We had weeks to do it.

Didn't finish the first draft until 2 minutes before the deadline. Had to smoke crack all night just to stay awake and finish it.

Sounds like you suffered a serious case of correctile disfunction.

When sporting a boner, sometimes it is more comfortable (or more ambiguous) to move it from facing downward (toward your feet) to facing upward (toward your beltline).

The Erection Direction Correction is the process of changing from one position to the other.
My boner was making a rather large bump in my pants, so I made an erection direction correction.

Manual Correction

A highly effective disciplinary action performed by a pimp onto a ho. It involves the pimp using the back side of his hand to pimp slap a ho in the face. The corrective slap must be violent enough so it does not require an additional follow up slap.
The pimp's sudden and unexpected manual correction quickly ended the ho's aspirations of ever quitting the profession and going back to school.
