Social Science

The social sciences are the fields of academic scholarship which explore aspects of human society. Social sciences may draw upon empirical methods and attempt to emulate the standards of conventional scientific practice. By contrast, other social scientists employ critical analysis or hermeneutic methods to study objects of enquiry they regard as inconsistent with the scientific approach.

Social science is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to a plurality of fields outside of the physical sciences and the arts. These include: anthropology, archaeology, communication studies, cultural studies, demography, economics, history, human geography, international development, international relations, linguistics, media studies, philology, political science, social psychology, and social work.
Weber's most famous work reg., social science is his essay in economic sociology, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, which also began his work in the sociology of religion. In this text, Weber argued that religion was one of the non-exclusive reasons for the different ways the cultures of the Occident and the Orient have developed, and stressed that particular characteristics of ascetic Protestantism influenced the development of capitalism, bureaucracy and the rational-legal state in the West. The essay examines the effects Protestantism had upon the beginnings of capitalism, arguing that capitalism is not purely materialist in Karl Marx's sense, but rather originates in religious ideals and ideas which cannot be solely explained by ownership relations, technology and advances in learning alone.

scientific gasblowing

Offering unscientific interpretations based upon insufficient data, faulty logic or poor reasoning. The term came from a humorous Freudian slip when reading a Digg.com article entitled "Scientific Glassblowing."
That science pundit was spouting off some nonsense about super-string theory, but it was clear he had no idea what he was talking about; it was nothing more than scientific gasblowing...

Sariel

Sariel is a girl who's quiet and seems innocent (but she really isn't). Once you get to know her, she will be really open and extroverted with you, but she might need some space at times. She is a girl who will always listen to your problems and help you when you're in need. Her shoulder will always be there for you to cry upon. She's a really sensitive girl and she takes the suffering of others to heart and has the tendency to feel their pain as her own. She hates seeing others suffer while being happy herself. She might seem quiet but there's a thousand thoughts growing through her head.
"Why's Sariel crying?"
"A character in her book died"
"What? Just because of that?"
"She was also crying about the holocaust yesterday*

doing science

When someone is on the phone, texting or are otherwise occupied whilst their friends are in the same room having a conversation. Much like the common internet meme with the picture of the nerd reading a book while a girl is pressing her tits up against him, there is a caption that reads "GTFO BITCH, IM DOING SCIENCE". In this instance the nerd is doing science
Steve: Hey did you see that band play last night?
Bruce: No, how wehere they?
Steve: they were fucking awesome!
Rob: *off in the corner texting his girlfriend
Bruce: Wow, Rob needs to stop doing science and actually enjoy his friends!

AP Computer Science

A programming class that also emphasizes object-oriented programming methods, algorithms, and problem solving. Also you try to learn something useful but your teacher leaves half-way through the semester, so your old Computer Programming teach with zero experience takes over and helps in no way possible. You try your best to pass but no matter what, you're going to fail.
Jacob: You do the AP Computer Science homework?

Kyle: Haha what homework?

Nick: Why even do it? No one is passing with this goof teaching the class.
