Refirement: When your employer is so tired of dealing with an employee they escort the employee from the property in front of their peers and permanently ban the employee from ever returning to the property. Additionally, the employer is more than willing to provide a lump sum settlement to simply never have to see/deal with the employee again. This is often seen in government positions since they are using tax payers funds.

Hym "No it isn't a reflex bitch. You do not accept the validity... Of the articulation... Of my internal state... Because you are just as solipsistic as the religious fundamentalists. I am telling you why I'm not voting for your girl... And it's because you are a piece of shit... Ok? You understand? I want MY MONEY... And not YOUR POLICIES... Right? My money... Surveillance apparatus. That is all that matters. Literally more than your kids life. It isn't a thought that you are getting special privileges as a form a social reparations... That isn't how I feel. It isn't feelings. You're bad."

(Note: Can also be used as an adjective: ReFinessed)
Definition: 1. (Verb) To consciously reclaim one's mastery and skillfully navigate the complex illusions of modern society without being corrupted, drained, or "processed" by them.
2. (Noun) The state of possessing profound, active ethical skill, as opposed to the passive compliance of being merely "refined" by corporate or bureaucratic structures.
Origin / Etymology: A portmanteau blending the prefix re- (a conscious return to the origin), the word refine (to purify, though often corrupted to mean "highly processed"), and finesse (intricate skill and delicate mastery). It was coined to contrast the "Refined Man" (who is penalized and processed by society) with the "ReFinessed Man" (who actively safeguards his own intellectual and ethical energy).
