Metaphysics

A branch of philosophy that deals with the study of nature regarding existence and the Universe.
It tells you whether reality is real or an illusion.

I have an exam in Metaphysics today.

metaphor

A poetic device used to draw comparison, or illustrate a parallel relationship between two different subjects. More or less the same as a simile, except omitting the word "like;" as in the following example- METAPHOR- Life is a box of chocolates./SIMILE- Life is like a box of chocolates. Confusion over these two techniques has resulted in untold disasters throughout the history of language.

The guy in the cowboy hat said, "Life is a metaphor for itself," but he's bi-polar and thinks he's Jesus, so don't pay no attention to him.

metaphors be with you

a pun made famous by Eric Daniels and poet Peter Schneidre using a play off the phrase "may the force be with you"

Guy 1: "The police lights played through her mohawk like the sun setting through pine trees."
Guy 2: "...Metaphors be with you."

metaprogramming

The point at which "a programmed system begins to program itself." Metaprogramming begins in that split second when a pre-scripted program consciously begins to rewrite itself, setting aside the reward/punishment systems it was imprinted with.

In humans, this means "real" rebellion. To go against all you have been taught and truly start making decisions for yourself.

Indeed, the act of metaprogramming may be the ultimate benchmark of a conscious system - I metaprogram, therefore I am.
