Bulverism-Sokalism

The unified cognitive bias and meta-bias that combines bulverism and sokalism into a single dismissive framework, particularly used against fields labeled as "postmodernism" or "relativism." Bulverism-Sokalism assumes that an entire field is wrong because it's "postmodern" or "relativist," and that anyone who draws on that field does so because of intellectual corruption rather than genuine insight. The bias allows its holders to dismiss vast areas of scholarship without engagement, to explain away opposing views without addressing them, and to maintain their own worldview as obviously correct while everyone else is simply deluded. Bulverism-Sokalism is the epistemology of the intellectual bubble, where everything outside is fraud and everyone inside is duped.

Example: "He dismissed all criticism as 'postmodern relativism.' When she pointed to specific arguments, he didn't engage—he just labeled them postmodern and moved on. Bulverism-Sokalism had made him immune to challenge: any opposing view was both explained away (you've been corrupted) and dismissed (your field is invalid). He never had to think, only to label."

(to) pull a Sokol

When a girl gives you an indirect but obvious hint to sleep with her but instead you misread it as a coincidence and you don't want to look like an idiot by making a move. Instead you look even more like an asexual incel because you just denied her the D.

(to) pull a SokolS: "Dude I was watching Netflix with that one girl and she slowly moves my hand on her tits. I didn't want to make a move because what if she didn't want that?"
T: "Bro what the hell? Are you not into girls or did you just pull a Sokol?"

Flipped the cushion now everything's ok...

Com origem na série "How I Met Your Mother", a expressão, significa, "successful cover up", e pode ser utilizada em várias situações, por exemplo: quando vês alguém na rua que não queres cumprimentar, então, escondes te atrás de uma árvore, ou seja, a pessoa não te vê, "flipped the cushion now everything's ok...",

Contexto
Neste episódio é evidenciado o problema compulsivo de Marshall em fazer montagens com músicas e fotos feitas ambas por ele, em que ele retrata atividades diárias e acontecimentos impactantes. Esta expressão específica vem da montagem sobre comida chinesa "Ordered Chinese food today! Some Mushu Pork sause got awaaaay... Flipped the cushion now everything's ok...", fazendo uma expressão de satisfação pelo seu "successful cover up" aka virando a almofada do sofá cheia de molho ao contrário.

- Quando a tua mãe te pede para arrumar o quarto e tu simplesmente atiras tudo para dentro do armário, mas não faz mal porque fechas a porta....."flipped the cushion now everything's ok..."
- Quando deixas cair o cigarro ao chão na rua mas pegas sem ninguém ver e continuas a fumar, porque o dinheiro para tabaco está escasso...."flipped the cushion now everything's ok..."
- Quando tas a cozinhar e como dá demasiado ir ver a receita metes só tudo lá para dentro e esperas para que no final dê certo...."flipped the cushion now everything's ok..."
- Quando tens o cabelo oleoso mas não te apetece lavar e como está frio podes só usar uma Burka apara absorver o óleo...."flipped the cushion now everything's ok..."
