clinically proven

Clinically proven may mean virtually anything... including nothing. A "clinically proven" statement in advertising is an effective sales pitch, usually a vague claim that requires no hard evidence and isn't easy to disprove. As long as the mandatory "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA (...)" disclaimer is on the label, it's not necessary to have competent and reliable scientific evidence to back it up.

When used along a sensible diet and exercise program, our new eggplant extract is clinically proven to promote weight loss!

Ultra Critical Mass

Large numbers of complaints that must reach disciplinary authorities before action is taken to discipline or protect the public. Especially relates to attorneys and their bar associations who oversee grievances and egregious, unethical conduct. Also can relate to doctors, police, etc. Ultra Critical Mass can take years, decades, or an entire career before it is reached. The implication is that large numbers of people are harmed by a single individual while Ultra Critical Mass is building. Is often the product of biased reviewers, cronyism, and/or bureaucracy.

The file cabinet containing attorney Doe's voluminous complaints finally collapsed; the bar is now investigating some of those complaints; Ultra Critical Mass has occurred.

Critical Drunk

The point of being on a perfect and enjoyable buzz or high, when you are right between being tipsy and wasted, and reach the night's peak. Usually quickly replaced after drinking more.

When I first got to the club, I was at Critical Drunk and was getting into a hottie, but then I drank some more, muttered incoherently and vomited all over the club floor.
