projectionist

1. The guy who starts movies, and in time, will lose his job to the ever growing dome of jobs that technology will be able to replace.
2. A word you typed in because you're bored out of your god damned mind. Maybe it's your job, maybe it's your friends job, maybe you didn't know what a projectionist is, but the point is you have to get up and go do something besides waste your time here. Ride the bus with your headphones off, meet new people, talk to the first pretty opposing sex you see, who knows something might start. JUST GET OFF YOUR ASS!

By the way I'm totally in the same rut.

1. Hey! Your projectionist won't start the movie!
2. I said get out of the house.

psychological projection

1. Projection is the psychological phenomenon where someone thinks everyone else is doing and thinking what they are. It is usually seen as the externalisation of a person's negative traits, placing blame on an outside force such as the environment, a government, a society or other people.
2. Projection can also extend to philosophy and knowledge. This occurs when a person or small group of people assume that everyone else is working with the same ideas and/or information that they are. When this fails to happen, however, it can lead to pluralistic ignorance. A telltale sign of this is when a speaker says that "Everybody knows that...(a certain course of action)" is either beneficial or harmful, so society should avoid an impending catastrophe by following the course of action that the speaker proposes.
3. Another common forum for projection is in internet arguments, where it is usually pathetically obvious to everyone except the projector. The problem is recognized in intelligence analysis, in the form of cognitive traps for intelligence analysis.

Psychological Projection:
-An adulterous husband may think his wife is sleeping around.
-Creationists assert that supporters of evolution are religious zealots, and religious (especially Christian) fanatics assert that atheism is a religion.
-Self-proclaimed 'Ex-homosexuals' may state that all gays are empty, sinful shells of human beings that need repairing so they can be good, God-fearing straights.
-Racists who claim that anyone who criticises them must also be racially prejudiced.
-Swinkin' it.

Projection Cutting

Projection cutting is when you're talking about your opinions and sharing something with a group of people or just one person, and someone interrupts you rudely or doesn't acknowledge what you said and starts to talk about what they think, as if your thoughts, views or ideas don't matter.

Girl 1: Wow, Jane was really projection cutting me today in class.
Girl 2: Totally - we don't even care about her skeevy opinions anyway.

projectile birthing

A style of birth process where the baby shoots out of the mother's body and hits the doctor or midwife in the face.

Nurse Oullette jumped sideways, at the last moment, to catch the newborn baby. She gingerly stepped over the slumbering body of Dr. Whitcomb, he was unconscious, face dripping with red slime. Projectile birthing claims another victim.
