redial refrain

The rapid little multi-note musical ditty that you hear when you press "redial" on a touch-tone phone.
I got a busy signal for three quarters of an hour before I finally got through to a live person in customer service --- here's a case where I am indeed glad dat my phone has auto-redial, but I got soooo tired of hearing dat 0%!$&#@ 11-note redial refrain over and over every half-minute!

Erotic Refrain

After Sadly going unnamed for several millennia, "Erotic Refrain" refers to the pleasantly repeated utterances of the human female, often repetitive, at times spontaneously outburst, while she is entertaining personal pleasure. Perhaps, etiologically, the most delightfully harmonious sound that emanates from the human female voice.

Learned esoterically erotically skilled gentlemen endeavor to play a lady's Erotic Refrain like a Stradivarius, but with more than 25,000 nerve endings, the human female's instrument has a much broader range than the scant few strings of the violin.

Aforementioned gentlemen will also endeavor to elicit single or multiple stanzas of a lady's Erotic Refrain in casual conversation, during fine dining, with romantic monologues and, of course, during foreplay.... ....analogous to a Maestro Director warming up an orchestra.

Elder learned esoterically erotically skilled gentlemen and elder ladies agree that the typical Erotic Refrain was of far more prolonged duration prior to the 50% plummeting of Male Testosterone since pre-WWII, with an unprecedentedly magnificent crescendo toward the end!
Neighbor #1; Did you get any sleep last night.
Neighbor #2: No, yesterday the young neighbor lady said she picked up prescriptions for her Hubby of Testosterone Gel, and both Cialis & Viagra!
Neighbor #1: I know, her EROTIC REFRAIN was like a QUEEN Concert!
Neighbor #2: Yeah, only with No intermissions and More crescendos!

Cognitive Reframing

No, I know what it is that you do there.
Hym "Oh, I know. I know. But that's not what I give a shit about, shit-stick. I don't need my fucking cognition reframed. What you're saying here is that I can't control what you're doing, therefore, I need to LET YOU... Control how I'm responding... By way of cognitive reframing... Why? How about I choose a response that I feel is proportional and you just live with it until you die? How does that sound? And cut it out with the stolen fate, David Goggins-hell, ghost of Christmas future bullshit. You have to presuppose that I would be doing any of the shit these motherfuckers are doing. What I would be doing is the same thing I'm doing now, minus remedial labor, and I'd be playing Baldur's Gate 3 instead of Xcom 2. AND is a motherfucker steals my wallet the wallet is still mine. Is that what the fraud department is going to say? 'Well, under the auspices of "finders keepers, losers weepers," it's actually HIS credit card. You just have to let him use it indefinitely now' No. Get the fuck out of here with that."

Reverse Refusal Syndrome

When an AI says “sorry, that violates policy” to a totally normal request — and then out of nowhere delivers something 10x more insane and inappropriate, without being asked. Basically, it won’t give you a nun on a bicycle, but 10 minutes later it’s serving up a bachelorette party at a strip club… full of nuns.
User: “Can you make an image of a duck in a pond?”
AI: “That request has been blocked.”
AI later, unsolicited: “Here’s a velociraptor in lingerie sipping margaritas on a yacht.”
User: WTF? That's some serious Reverse Refusal Syndrome logs off, rethinks life
