surface science

Not to be confused with pseudoscience or fringe science, where the individual attempts to use science to explore outrageous theories, instead surface science is conducted by those individuals who have absolutely no firm understanding of scientific methodologies or experimentation and attempt to use what little knowledge they have to research and explore completely believable, realistic claims.

The inconsistent and weak theories offered by many commercial pick-up artists to explain human attraction fails to take into account psychological, sociological, and general scientific principles, and are therefore practicing surface science, while trying to pass it off as genuine fact.

horizontal surface disease

Someone who has trouble keeping horizontal surfaces neat. Desks become a place for papers and books to accumulate; couches become a breeding ground for coats, purses, and junk.

Surfactual

(adj. Etym.: from surface + factual) A fact that seems credible on the surface, but which upon a more thorough inspection reveal itself to be either

(a) an intentional misrepresentation of the truth as it is known, but not an outright lie; often used to present s.thing in a more positive light;

(b) a 'cheap' fact, that is to say, common sense dressed in jargon;

or

(c) a fact without references.

(a) At the manufacturing facility, the group of Japanese businessmen were presented with surfactual evidence of the efficiency at the plant, so as to augment and aid the CEO's persuasive, ceaseless sweet-talking. "We've got them now," he though to himself, and could hardly mask his glee.

(b) The client slapped the papers hard down on the table, all the while transfixing them with that terrible gaze. "No f***ing way I'm paying for this report! It's a poor derivative of a Wikipedia article - I've had it checked, you know! This, peppered with surfactual tidbits even a breastfeeding child knows to be mere fancy!"

(c) It's a well-known fact that Toxiplasma Gondii resides in the brains of between a quarter of and a half of the world's population.

surface shitcicles

When you own a dog and must clean up the poop in the winter but forget to and it snows burying the poop, then you can only clean up the recently deposited ones visible on top of the snow.

I have to pick up the Surface Shitcicles in the backyard, I have to wait for the snow to melt to get the rest.

surface memer

A surface memer is what one could label someone who thinks they’re in touch with meme culture but in reality they’re just into normie memes (examples of normie memes can be found on instagram pages such as @ kalesalad, @ Daquan, or @ 3.14...)
Often times might say they’re into “dank memes” but in reality don’t know what real dank memes typically consist of. (And no not all dank memes have to be offensive)

People who think they’re such a memer just because they have a lot of screenshots from Salice Rose or Daquan in their camera roll tend to just be surface memers or normies. Daniel thought he was a total memer just because he recreated a Gavin “bitch I’m tryna love you” meme.

surface poo

A bush poo done on the surface instead of a hole.

I was busting so I did a surface poo before burying it.

That lazy pig did a surface poo.
