discrete math

Somewhat broad category of mathematical subjects that concern discrete, rather than continuous objects. A good example of this distinction is the kind of functions you study in discrete math. Where as calculus differentiates and integrates functions defined for every value in some interval of real numbers, the kind of function examined in discrete math is often called a 'mapping', a rule that associates each members in one set with one in another. Often, these sets are finite, and so the elements are discrete, rather than continuous.

The topics addressed in a discrete math class vary, but it seems every curriculum has mathematical logic, set theory, formal proof techniques, number theory and probability. Other topics you might run into are abstract algebra (e.g., group theory), graph theory, linear programming, game theory and algorithmic complexity.

In addition to teaching students very important methods of proof and logic, discrete mathematics also gives a fun rundown of topics with a lot of practical applications.

(In the US, the median income of the few people who have the attention span and maturity to learn about things like discrete math is $81,240. True fact.)
The previous contributor knocked discrete math on the Internet, not realizing that his message was routed to this server with an algorithm based on graph theory, which is a part of discrete math. Jesus fucken' Christ-on-a-cracker, is he ever dumb.

Discord Marxism-Leninism

Discord Marxism-Leninism (DML) or more commonly known as Leonism or in some occasions Moralistic Socialism is a socialist ideology about the ideas of Discord leader Leon Trotsky (Ice crem#1946). It follows very conservative morals such as tolerance towards religion and the disapproval of homosexuality but follows the socialist economic model, yet also promises equality for the people.

Dicer

In the Role-Playing-Game community: A dicer is someone who rolls a die a certain way to receive a desired number. There are several dicing techniques, including the drop technique where you don't actually roll the die, rather you just drop it with the desired number showing on top. See Dice and Dicing
Kenny: You killed me again. I'm never playing with you again because you are a Dicer.

diceroy

Something that is painfully on point or breathtaking. To be diceroy is to transcend normalcy and enter the realm of demigods. Diceroy can also be used as an exclamation. Such usage is analogous to Black Rob's 'Whoa!' in that anything ill you see is diceroy.

Apple of Discord

Used by eris in Greek Mythology to wreak havoc on people. The golden apple of discord was stolen from a tree belonging to Hera (Zeus's wife and goddess of marriage).
