generative formalism

Proposal that the biological emergence of language was caused by a reaching of a critical level of female-inherited genetic variation.
Generative formalism says that language emerged when one reached a threshold-level of genetic variation as inherited from one's FEMALE ancestors.

Ironically this was caused by male looting and conquest.

dumb formal

to describe the kind of 'unwritten uniform' worn by certain professions (i.e teachers) to work. This is what happens when 'smart casual' goes to work.
I like the way you've jazzed up your slack and crisp white collared shirt look with that snazzy navy blue cardigan.

It's what the dumb formal look is all about.

the mr. formal

a sexual act: the placement of one's testicles inside the anal sphincter of another, immediately followed by mounting said person, placing the penis in their mouth while allowing the freshly dirtied scrotum to press down on the center of their collar bone, leaving a shitty imprint which more or less resembles a bow tie.
"dude, remember that chick from the bar last night? yeah, i gave her the mr. formal."
