The condition the viewer experiences while watching a reality show when they are forced to sit through a recap of the events to date before they are allowed to see further developments. It is often done to "pad out" an episode that would otherwise come up short of content.
I don't mind two minutes of recaptivity at the beginning of each episode of "Survivor," but during the finale of "The Bachelor," I was in recaptivity for 45 minutes before the Bachelor passed out his final rose.

Get the Relativism mug.moving at an extremely high velocity.
From the Special Theory of Relativity published in 1905 by Albert Einstein and his expression e=mc^2.
Although this term is strictly a hyperbole, since only very small particles in lab accelerators can approach the speed of light, it's use can be an appropriate exaggeration in certain cases.

Get the Relaxtivity mug.a self defining word for those so far left that they have fallen off the acceptance end of relativistic scale that they are now no longer capable of discerning between any two things.
Uber-relativism describes people that are so wishy washy that they can no longer tell right from wrong because either way something will be "discriminated" against

Get the uber-relativism mug.a very common belief these days. revolves mainly around the idea, "what is right for you isn't right for me". denies that there is truth at all. many relativists realize that mathematical truths cannot be disproven, but they still susbscribe to the idea that multiple opposing ideas can exist in the same realm and still produce no conflicts.
hitler thought it was perfectly fine of him to kill millions of people. obviously, he was a relativist. the people he oppressed obviously didn't have the same veiw, and look at what happened. they were killed.

Get the relativism mug.A moral relativist is one with a snarky attitude and bloated sense of self-importance. They can be found loitering about college campus' for years on end in multiple graduate school programs. If you are unfortunate to have one in your freshman philosophy class they will ask "questions" that are not so carefully disguised claims of superiority over the professor and all other students. Often known to despise organized religion and wear anti-religious bigotry on his/her sleeve, while displaying outrage at all other forms of bigotry. They become loud and angry if you point out that such outrage ironically hinges on moral absolutism.
- There is no right and wrong, there is only perception of right and wrong.
- Is that so? Well you won't mind if I do this.
::smacks moral relativist in the mouth::
- OW! Why did you do that?
- I perceived it as the right thing to do during this conversation.
