Recursive Coat Hanger Abortion

The process of impregnating a girl, aborting the fetus with a coat hanger, placing the fetus in the girl's anus, having anal intercourse with the girl, impregnating the fetus, aborting the fetus' fetus with the same coat hanger, sticking that fetus in the first fetus' anus and having anal intercourse with the girl and the first fetus, impregnating the second fetus and repeating, ad infinitum

I thought that biddy went to take a shit, but she really was just passing 4 fetuses from her most recent recursive coat hanger abortion.

Recursal

Something that endlessly loops forever is recursal.

In theory, a black hole is recursal.

If you understand programming, you can endlessly loop a method (a) by putting that methods name inside of its own method, therefore method (a) is going to be a recursal method.

Recursion

In programming, the calling of a function within the function itself.

Here’s an example of a function that utilizes recursion:

def multiply(a, b):

#takes two integers and multiplies them

if b == 0:

return 0

else:

return a + multiply(a, b-1)

Recursively funded online shopping

Online shopping at work. Since the shopping is being done during work hours, any items bought are to a certain degree financed through the shopping process itself. The degree of financing stands in a direct relationship to the time spent shopping.

Vinzent spent the whole afternoon at the office with nothing but online shopping. He's doing recursively funded online shopping!

recursive parsonym

An acronym contained within an acronym and which is the same as the original acronym.

GNU is an acronym for "GNU's Not Unix." When the derivative acronym is expanded, the original acronym is repeated indefinitely. (Computer and Information Science)

"Yeah, and then he says to me, 'Did you notice that "GNU" is a recursive parsonym?'" "Like I give a f***." "What a flake."
