dining philosophers 

a famous problem in the field of concurrency (a sub-field in computer science, for the uninitiated) that discusses an approach to allocate a fixed number of resources among several consumers. here is the actual dining philosophers problem (DPP)...

"A certain number of philosophers spend their lives alternating between thinking and eating. They are seated around a circular table. There is a fork placed between each pair of neighboring philosophers. Each philosopher has access to the forks at her left and right. In order to eat, a philosopher must be in possession of both forks. A philosopher may only pick up one fork at a time. Each philosopher attempts to pick up the left fork first and then the right fork. When done eating, a philosopher puts both forks back down on the table and begins thinking. Since the philosophers are sharing forks, it is not possible for all of them to be eating at the same time."

Bobuk offensive philosophy 

Offensive philosophy. Control the clock but don’t be afraid to make the big play. Ground and pound on first down with the Stallion. 2 and 6-longer looking to get the ball into the hands of JK underneath or over the top to Nas. Your checkdowns are to Batman or young CJ. No need for Angelo to be busting ass running routes when he’s a dominant pass protector. 3rd and short which we shouldn’t ever be in anyway if we ain’t giving it to Ang then wtf are we thinking? The man can easily average five yards a clip even if he gotta bounce it outside. Run the damn ball between the tackles is a damn straight priority. That’s how you win games bc if y’all can’t stop that then you might as well quit. Make it easy for the QB give him good protection, basic reads, make sure he’s never on his ass. With that theory we’re beating Moon dominating Penn Hills and getting into a shootout with Peters. But nope. God forbid Goater gotta call QB fucking power twenty times a fucking game.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 

The CORRECT title for the first installment of the well known Harry Potter book or film series. JK Rowling has personally said that her biggest regret about the series is the name change in some countries, and she thinks of it as 'Philosopher's'.

It makes much more sense calling it 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' as a Philosopher's Stone is a real item that alchemists tried to create hundreds of years ago. Nicholas Flamel is also known to have been working on this. Throughout history, there is no record of any concept known as the 'Sorcerer's Stone'.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling and featuring Harry Potter, a young wizard. It describes how Harry discovers he is a wizard, makes close friends and a few enemies at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and with the help of his friends thwarts an attempted comeback by the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents when Harry was one year old.

Philisophical lip service 

A person giving "philisophical lip service" is someone who elaborates about specific ways, principles and ideals that one should live by, but they themselves do not implement these beliefs in their own lives.
One person in a crowd that will use "philisophical lip service" to control the conversation by insisting that their beliefs are the ways to live by. They do not take others' opinions and ideas into consideration, shutting down any input by others, however they themselves do not practice in their own lives what they preach. In essence, a hypocrite who is a self centered egotistical, self rightous asshole

philosopickle 

The act of getting incredibly stoned, upon which the stoned person makes an ingenious remark or theory, only to be told that his ideas/theory's are incorrect and that person is very, very dumb.
person 1: *smokes bong* dudddeee, did you know that when you eat a watermelon seed, a watermelon grows inside of you?

person 2: Uh, no i don't think that's true.

Person 1: Sure it is! i heard it on the internet

Person 2: you sir, are a philosopickle

Regerian Philosophy 

I'm drunk, I'll worry about it in the mornin.
Any time your drunk, and something goes wrong, the proper attitude to have is to continue to have a good time that night and just worry about the problem in the morning. The degree of drunkeness is directly proportional to the degree of the problem that is deffered to the next morning. Example: If your just a little tipsy and somebody burns their face off in a freak gasoline-fight accident, you take the nigga to the hospital and you worry about the shit at that time, but if your really fucked up and your good passes out in the woods and you think they die, but your too drunk to care so you leave him by himself way ass out in the fuckin woods passed out and as far as you know, dead.... but you justify it as ok cuz you're drunk... you'll worry about it in the morning (Classic Regerian Philosophy)

philosophizing 

The point in a late night conversation where normal get-to-know-you chit chat is thrown out the window for something much deeper and Aristotle in nature. Philosophizing primarily focuses on the human condition - the intricacies of romance, politics, personal goals and desires, and typically goes nowhere. The gist of philosophized conversations are forgotten in the morning.
Me and Kat were philosophizing until daybreak... And I have no idea what the fuck either of us said.
