1. original meaning: source, origin, beginning
2. (following the 2010 movie): an infinite loop; a thing that contains itself; a repetition of the same thing, something with multiple layers; infinite regress, a vicious circle; a dream within a dream.
(referring to the concept of dreams inside other dreams, both up and down, and the famous line "we need to go deeper" from the movie.)
Essentially the same as the word "recursion", a word that a lot fewer young people know.

Get the inceptionmug. A mediocre, sometimes cringe-inducing ripoff of the Matrix that insufferable morons claim was "masterful," "changed their life" and was "the most complex movie of all time." Typically used as a vehicle to promote said moron's distinct and proficient taste in movies.
