O.D.A. (Optimal distance of attraction)

The distance at which a person is most attractive. Beer goggles decrease the ODA between persons.
"That chick has a long O.D.A. (optimal distance of attraction). I thought she was fine from a distance, but once I got up close, I realized she had a face like a horse."

Distant Relatives

An incredible collaboration album by Nas and Damian Marley. It combines Marley's reggae fusion style with Nas' phenomenal rap skills. The content is very intelligent and meaningful. Most of it is about the struggles of Africa but it does not end there. The two musicians touch on injustices which the entire world has to endure, especially in the song "Patience".
"Pay no mind to the youths, cause it's not like the future depends on it. But save the animals in the zoo, because the chimpanzee's dem a make big money."- Damian Marley. (There are so many other lines I could have chosen to illustrate the lyrical genius of this album)
Distant relatives is probably one of the best collaboration albums of all time.

Distracted Consciousness

The "Distracted consciousness" differs from the Marxist idea of "false consciousness" in as much as the individual suffering from this state of distraction is no longer fully aware of life around them: they have become a human doing, no longer a human being.
Excerpt taken from 'The Girl with No Mobile Phone', by author Tom Conrad.

“The girl with no mobile phone had never herself seen fit to buy a mobile phone (in all her life) – being not only against them as invaders of privacy, but moreover, viewing mobile phones as symbols of the wider “distracted consciousness”: a curse now plaguing mankind far and wide. In fact, the girl with no mobile phone constantly witnessed many of her peers fingering away (not the good sort of fingering, either), just another distracted soul startled by the desperateness of existence, looking to fill every single waking and terrifying moment of their life with some pointless textual distraction, instead of just confronting and embracing the stillness, just taking a moment to actually think, reflect and be a human being, not a human doing.”

Alternative use:

‘Like OMFG, dude had been playing GTA5 for five days straight before he got up, left his apartment and tried to jack a car by throwing a musical triangle at them.’

‘A musical triangle?’

‘Yeah the thing that goes ding.’

‘Shit, that dude is distracted.’

‘No shit, he's suffering from the distracted consciousness!’
