"a thing"

As pertaining that you like someone. A crush.

I totally have "a thing" for my best friend Brittany.
Dude, I knew you had a thing for her since day one.

free thinker

An individual whose opinions are formed on the basis of an understanding and rejection of tradition, authority or established belief.

Sarah did not believe that her friend Tom was going to hell just because he had a boyfriend. She was as a free thinker.

thinkpad

The single best model of laptop form factor machines, now produced by Lenovo. Formerly produced by IBM. They have been known to last years and survive serious abuse that would kill a Dell or Apple. Recommended with a nice big battery and a copy of Fedora Linux 10. Computers for real geeks.

Eric: I say, I quite fancy this ThinkPad over the Toshiba that I owned last. Let's see Apple try to match this keyboard!

Luke: Or the built in biometrics, light, magnesium alloy skeleton, anti-flex screen, innovative pointing devices, durability, or hardware support!

Think Straight

To think clearly.
To think without confusion or interruption.
To assemble one's thought in the order they had intended to.

"I just can't seem to think straight with those buzzing fluorescent lights around."

group think

A subtle influence on a highly self-regarding and insular discussion group that deludes them into agreeing to dubious assumptions and plans on the basis that everyone else seemed to think it was a good idea... or at least no one wanted to be the one to speak up in dissent.

It mentally shortcuts past the process of examining risks and alternatives, assuming that of course the others have taken them into due consideration.

The Bay of Pigs invasion is often cited as a disasterous example of group think; how could the "best and the brightest" engineered such a fiasco?

think fast

way of saying: 'to aknowledge something coming at you, both literally and metaphorically, in a quick way because life is short and you gotta think fast!'

Marco: "Do you have a light?"
Polo: "Think fast!" (throwing the lighter at Marco)

Free Thinker

A philosophical viewpoint that opinions or beliefs of reality should be based on science, logic and reason. Ideas should not be derived from religion, authority, governments or dogmas.

A free thinker should not reject nor accept any proposed truths of organized religion, established norms, media, etc. They should determine if the belief is valid based on their own knowledge, intuition, research and reason. Just because other people believe in it, doesn't mean it's right! Use your own judgment and think critically!
