Restrictive Algorithm

The code name for a list of reasons why a woman should wear a corset during sex (Corset Sex). The list differs slightly in length and content from female to female, but it almost always includes:
- Curvier figure (breasts pushed up and together, waist slimmed)
- Makes breathing faster and shallower during sex.
Guy 1: Apparently Emily always wears a 18" corset when she fucks Tom.
Guy 2: Yeah, it's her restrictive algorithm.

Scooby Doo Algorithm

The method for determining the identity of a target based on a process of elimination. The term is often applied for humorous effect meant to indicate that a solution can easily be found by simply eliminating the obvious non-solutions.

The concept is based on the animated TV show "Scooby Doo" in which teenage investigators solve mysteries. The typical episode format includes someone dressed as a monster terrorizing people. The "meddling kids" proceed to determine the identity of the person behind the mask, providing an opportunity for the audience to guess who it is as well.

As an over-simplification, you know the person behind the mask simply because he’s the only person in the episode who isn’t Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, or Scooby (the primary characters).
Brilliant, you just reinvented the Scooby Doo Algorithm to choose what to eat for breakfast. . . It's not that hard since you only have one box of cereal, half a pizza, and ten cases of beer in the house.

AlGoreithm

Repeating a calculation until a prior desired result is produced. This refers to the 2000 US presidential elections, where Al Gore lost, but a long recount process gave the impression that it was going to continue forever until Al Gore is determined the winner (although eventually, the recount was stopped by the court and Bush was declared the winner).
The process you proposed is an algoreithm: instead of coming up with the right results it will just waste time and finally come up with exactly your predetermined results!

Algorithm

the act or practice of quoting Al Gore; an Al Gore quote.
If I may make an algorithm here, I would say it's nothing more than an "inconvenient truth". The internet is abound with algorithms, the most famous being "I used to be the next president of the United States ..."

AlGoreithm

A long, mind boggling explanation of an environmental problem, set to Melissa Etheridge's music.
Vladimir: Did you really go to Professor Greengrass's lecture?

Estragon: Yeah, it was basically another AlGoreithm. That tree-hugger
