Paid in gum

When you are paid in a form other than cash unexpectedly. This may or may not be something desirable. Term comes from the Trident Layers commercial where the baby sitter is paid in gum instead of cash.

Anyone who pays in gum is extremely cheap.

"I was paid in gum for moving Steve's shit out of his apartment; I got two of his Xbox games."

"Alas poor Yoric, you paid in gum you cheap bastard."

left-right paradigm

A system of government in which only two parties are illegible to be in control, through monetary and legal means. In many of these systems, adherents of both parties are in other organizations and secret societies, yet create protagonist and antagonist roles for society to agree with, so there is no actual dissent towards what is really one party.

2004 U.S. election- Both George bush and John F Kerry were both in the same college fraternity, and the council on foreign relations, Just like Obama, and McCain were members of CFR. Together these groups form what is known as the left-right paradigm.

Opiate Paradox

The strange phenomenon, and a cruel joke of the gods, where when taking opiates such as vicodin, oxycodone, or H, one will become extremely horny yet totally unable to ejaculate. This unfortunate circumstance can cause the medical condition priapism, as well as broken blood vessels, penile chafing, depression, and insanity.

Feverishly masturbating for 4 hours after receiving vicodin for a teeth pulling, little Timmy was another victim of the unfortunate opiate paradox.

Padiddle

A game played in a car where as somebody within the car sees another car with only one working headlight. That person then shouts "Padiddle!" and hits the top of the car. Everybody else in the car quickly shouts "Padiddle!" as well and hits the top of the car. The last person to do so must then remove a piece of clothing. The game then continues. The clothing must remain off until the remainder of the car ride and may only be put back on if that person is getting out of the car.
~a pair of shoes generally count as one piece of clothing but that can be decided before the game begins.
~same goes for a pair of socks
~the game lasts longer with more clothes
~jewelry does not count.
~If somebody yells "Padiddle!" and it is not a padiddle, it is called a false padiddle and the person who wrongly called padiddle must take off an article of clothing.
~it may be played where one break light out is called a "Padaddle!" and same rules apply.

p1-"Padiddle!"
p2-"Padiddle!"
p3 and p4-"Padiddle!"
p5-"DAMMIT! There goes my shirt, I'm horrible at this game!"

parade wave

Oscillation of the hand from the wrist with minimal input from the elbow or shoulder. Popularised by the British Royal Family.

Often to be seen from the back of landaus and throught the glass of armoured limousines as royals waft past.

Unpopular with American presidents who seem to prefer a more grandstanding straight up from the shoulder type vigorous waggling of the whole arm. But then, they only have to do it for 8 years, not a lifetime.

There goes the Queen Mum, giving the crowd her elegant little parade wave.

paradigm shift

A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.

Einstein once said, "imagination is more important than knowledge." He may be partly right, as I apologize, the above definition is for paradigm, perhaps allow me to better example a paradigm shift here. It isn't as wise to not publish a visionary who foresees a better future, using imagination as well as calculation that may ideal a greater reality, despite our seeming knowledge now of the society apparently. Ideally a paradigm shift is an ascension of sorts, like when humankind civillized or evolved, to the point where they stopped believing that the gods wanted them to sacrifice virgins. In a paradigm shift we'd again eat our vegetables instead of smoke them, we'd be creditted from and use what we're made of, such as Hydrogen for fuel instead of pollution. There is a huge higher set of relativity, that can solve virtually all of our foolish worldly problems, a paradigm shift could come from real leadership. Please believe first acknowledging an extreme atomic negativity which could nuke all of us dead, ridding the Earth of all Humans and so their problems, but also imagine on extreme opposite being that of atomic positivity, where prosperity for all simply depends on leadership for their work efficiency, and in that better extreme might most of our foolish little problems be solved also though truly.
