Denison Law

the idea that as soon as you disclose the aspects of a relationship, of any sort, to one or more persons where envy may lie, the relationship experiences a downfall or dissipates.

More aggressive in new relationships, where vulnerability is high.
"How's the relationship going?"
"Not so well. Denison law just came in full force."

conservative decision making

A term used by management when they attempt to look good to the inspectors, bill collectors, media, and regulators as to why they will not attempt to follow previously set rules and regulations.

This term is often used when something is taken past normal limitations and specifications.

This decision often saves the company from short term expenses and explanations but in a longer time frame can cost several times more than the early simple fix would have.
Employee: Sir, there is no oil in the engine and the manual says to immediately shut down and fill with oil.
Manager: After looking at the problem, we have used our conservative decision making that the engine must still be ran for the time being until we have the funds and a good time to add oil.

2 days later.
Employee: Well sir, I told you there was no oil in the engine and due to our conservative decision making we decided to keep it running but it now will no longer operate until we buy a replacement engine.

Decisionist

Someone who discriminates solely based on the decisions of an individual made in life. Factors such as race, height, weight, sex, and nationality do not come into play. However a decisionist may discriminate due to appearance if that individuals appearance is commonly associated with a group that the decisionist does not like the decisions of.
A decisionist is someone that doesn't like gangsters or the white guys that try to be gangster can discriminate against both of them equally, thus their actions are not racially motivated and the race card can't be pulled

"Pete and I are sinking into defission because no matter how hard I try to get him to think positive or make some positive changes in his life, he still refuses to even acknowledge that he is depressed, never mind get treated. It's like he wants to be miserable, and I just don't want to be around that kind of negative energy."

"I'm starting to feel defissioned because Sally is mad at me again for not being supportive and attacking her when I suggest that maybe it's not that people are being mean to her all the time but that her perceptions are warped from her long term depression and she really needs to treat that to solve the problems."

"Joe and I aren't talking anymore, everything is defissioning because he refuses to get his shit together and go to the frickin doctor!" (colloquial)

"Dude, you have two options: defission with all your friends, or go get help."
