Pavloving

The subtle art of conditioning someone — intentionally or not — to associate a specific action, word, or situation with a particular feeling, craving, or behavior. Inspired by the OG behaviorist Ivan Pavlov and his famously drooling dogs, Pavloving is basically psychological sorcery in everyday life.
“I gave him a glass of water every time we met — now the dude gets thirsty just seeing me. That’s premium Pavloving.”

“Text her ‘good morning’ daily and soon enough, she’ll wake up expecting it. Classic Pavloving.”

“He plays that one song every time we drive — now I’m Pavloved into missing him when it plays elsewhere. Ugh.”

Pavlov Butt

The condition in which when you approach a toilet your butt begins to do something akin to drooling. Also, your sense of urgency to use the toilet is inversely proportional to your distance from it.
This is a conditioned response which can be triggered by many different things depending on the individual and his habits.

Pavlov's House

A bombed out house in a war zone cannot be said to simultaneously taken by the enemy and also destroyed, however everything owned by violent third world dictator X is destroyed even on a normal day and it is impossible to "take" a house reduced to toothpicks. Thus you have Pavlov's House.
Yuri's house was in the line of the advance last night. The occupiers say they hold his house but it had to be shoveled into a bucket. I call it "Pavlov's House" now.
