Toxic Inspiration

The use of inspiration in a passive aggressive or manipulative way.

Toxic inspiration is when someone says something like, “We all have the same 24 hours to be successful! No one should be struggling!

Historical Investigation

The worse possible project an IB student can be assigned. This enormously long and difficult project must be completed as part of the IB Topics of the 20th Century history course, or else you fail. It involves answering a specific research question of interest (well, really, who gives a fuck?) and poring through books and journal articles on the subject, therefore wasting an enormous part of the time you DON'T have as an IB student.

I hate the historical investigation. It shouldn't have the FIVE parts it contains, but rather be a single paper in which we are allowed to write more than 2000 words--if we need to

Institutionalized

When you're sitting in your room daydreaming and your mom thinks you're on drugs, but all you want is a Pepsi and she won't give it to you and thinks you need professional help.

Institutionalized you're the one that's crazy

institutionalized

1. What a military service person becomes when they've re-enlisted so many times, and have spent so many years in the service, they no longer feel they would be safe or can make a life outside the military installation's fence. They also can no longer relate to civilian life-style or understand it anymore. 2. What a convicted criminal becomes when they've spent so many years behind bars away from life outside the prison walls.

1. After 8 years in, we knew our son had become institutionalized when he expressed he didn't want to get out because he felt military service was the only guarantee to a secure and stable future. 2. After spending 20 years in prison, Lazy Eyed Larry was paroled, but he had a hard time adjusting to life on the outside because he had become institutionalized.

Institutional Evil

Acts of evil often done among an organization, done with little or no sympathy and a lack of humanity due to its repeated process, like a system, or a daily job.

The ISIS organization executes men, women and children on a daily basis. Execution of humans has become so systematic, it is no different than a daily routine. What they do is considered Institutional Evil.

Inspirational Nonsense

God like laughter.

To find divine inspiration in the most ridicules of situations

Inspirational Nonsense is a subject not an object; a preponderance of the ridiculously sublime.

Such as : Harry Potter, Martha Stewart.

institutionalized panhandling

The act of an institution or charity hiring a staff of commissioned college students that stand in the street wearing branded shirts, passing out sympathy- or fear-inducing literature, and holding clipboards to forcibly solicit donations.

A: Aww man, the sidewalk is blocked up by 5 people all wearing the same green shirt, this can only mean Greenpeace is engaging in institutionalized panhandling again.
B: Quick, pretend you're on your cell phone and whatever you do do not make eye contact.
