Fashion Cycle Syndrome

First of all, a fashion cycle is where they bring back something that was fashionable, say, 10 years ago, such as bell-bottoms, denim, platform shoes, short skirts, long skirts, the boho gypsy look etc.

Where this becomes confusing is when a cycle is re-cycled and then re-cycled again with another look, which then becomes a look unto itself.

So you could have for example, the “Hippy” look gets re-cycled 10 years later but is combined with the “Lady of the Manor” look too. Then, 10 years later the “HippyLlady of the Manor” look is re-cycled with the “Dallas meets Eskimo” look.

Someone who has the Fashion Cycle Syndrome would be so worried about having the latest look that they would look at someone, who, in reality may have not updated their wardrobe for a while except for maybe a new scarf or some accessory, had innocently gotten dressed that morning without a plan, but to whom the Fashion Cycle Syndrome sufferer will assess as not being behind or dated, but as being so far-thinking ahead that they have gone back to the beginning of another cycle which would include the dated stuff. See?

These mini-assessments are done anywhere from once a day to 20 or 30 times a day, depending on what you do and where you do it. Most women are unaware that they are even doing it as it has become so second-nature.

The Black life cycle

The life cycle that black men go through. When you are born, all the way untill puberty you are a niglet. once you hit puberty, you evolve into a nig.(if you have not hit puberty by high school skip the nig stage) Once you enter high school, you become a nigga. Once you turn about 30(age may vary depending on the type) you turn into a nigger. The Last stage, is when you turn about 80 is a lump of coal. This is the stage when your are almost dead.

Born Haber Cycle

The Born Haber Cycle is a method of visualising Hess' law and is often used to find lattice enthalpy, which cannot be determined empirically. Lattice enthalpy measures the energy needed to break apart ionic bonds in a lattice structure. In a Born Haber Cycle, lattice enthalpy can be found by combining the enthalpies of atomisation, ionisation (usually endothermic) and electron affinity (exothermic).

Also something that strikes fear into the hearts of IB chemistry students.

Triple F Cycle

A condition where a dysfunctional relationship always lands on one of the three stages, fuck, fight, forgive. Both parties sometimes separate for short periods of time only to get back together to continue where they left off.

synchro-defecation cycle

The synchro-defecation theory holds that the defecation patterns of individuals who live together tend to become synchronized over time. The phenomenon is glaringly evident when said individuals share one bathroom.

Similar to the McClintock effect, the theory that the menstrual cycles of women who live together, such as in homes, prisons, convents, bordellos, dormitories, or barracks, tend to become synchronized over time.

Friend: "Damn, that synchro-defecation cycle is a bitch, ain't it?"
