system of ascending precedents

a sequence of events wherein each event sets a new, higher standard that will act as a precedent for all subsequent events.
-As far as I know, this phrase has never been coined or defined before.

Bob tells funny stories and does spontaneous imitations at work. each one is a little funnier than the one before. his co-worker's expectations track with his performance so that now he has to maintain the gradient of improvement every time he opens his mouth or, - and this is the key- they will respond as if it was less funny than it really is. He has trapped himself in a system of ascending precedents.

System of a Down Fan

It's Simple...a System of a Down Fan likes System of a Down. Liking the music doesn't make them a fag, although i will agree that a few fools will make idiots of themselves by not respecting the opinions of others and degrading any other music.

System of a Down Fan #1: I like SOAD, they have meaningful lyrics.
SOAD disliker: Meh, they're not my favorite.
SOAD Fan #1: Alright, it's you're opinion.
SOAD Fan #2: u idiot douchebag!!!SOAD ownz all.

If you can't guess, the 2nd fan is the fag.

Sol System

The Sol System is a star system in the Milky Way's Outer Rim. Centered around a yellow dwarf known as Sol, it includes 8 planets. Of the 8 plants only 3 orbit in Sol's habitual zone, Venus (Uninhabited due to it's suffering from a runaway greenhouse effect.), Terra (Inhabited by a number of life forms, several intelligent and 1 Level 0.9 civilization. However, it is currently undergoing the Holocene Mass Extinction, it's 6th, and the local civilization has a fetish for dissecting (still living) visitors so travel to this world is ill advised.) and Mars (An uninhabited and geologically dead desert world.). It is ruled by the Terrans (Though their grip on power beyond the Terran System (A planetary system within the Sol System.) is weak almost to the point of being non-existent.) and is a largely irrelevant system on the larger galactic scale.

The Sol System is home to the primitive and warlike Terrans who seem to think they will rule the galaxy someday.

system requirements

A set of words letting you know if you have to pay lots of money in the near future.

Doug: What's system requirements on that thing?
Bob: I think I'm going to have to buy a new computer, for this.... what's your name again?
Doug: Doug.
Bob: *KABOOM*
Doug: I hate it when that happens.
