generalized abstract nonsense

The term "generalized abstract nonsense" is usually jokingly (and endearingly) applied to topics in mathematics of very high abstraction level, mostly category theory. It probably refers to the fact that some concepts in category theory can abstract away so far from the actual mathematical structures that are described as to lose all connection to the actual meat of the matter.

Yoneda's lemma is just generalized abstract nonsense.

abstracturdity

Abstracturdities are abstract absurdities. Concepts that have little relation to reality, either in usage or in reasonable thought processes. Given a chance, they will render any conversation an intractable mire of conceptual incontinuity.

"I would be obliged to tip my hat to him"
"Indeed. So would i"
"Which would be difficult, considering i dont wear hats"
"Er well then, bow"
"That just doesnt have the same... impetus.
*impetus*
Now thats a word.
I want a word like that for Christmas."
Boy, that sure was an abstracturdity. Who gets a word for Christmas? My conversation has been rendered an intractable mire of conceptual incontinuity.

Minor Attracted Person

Otherwise known as a pedophile, but a nicer way of saying it, it's been made so clean of any filth actually associated with the term that a good handful of Tumblr users are actually not disgusted by them, just because the term sounds so much nicer like this.

"New headcanon: D.Va, Lucio, and McCree are all MAPs." MAP being short for Minor Attracted Person.

Abstract Art

Art with no defined meaning. Its purpose is to let the viewer interpret its meaning for him/herself. More often than not, abstract art is a collection of meaningless shapes and colors thrown onto a canvas. The intellectual art community, however, looks at this and calls the author a genius, promptly shelling out tons of money to buy a mess that could have been accidentally created by a two year old.

If you can't draw or paint but still want to earn millions of dollars as an artist, don't worry: Abstract art is for you!
