Absurdian

Noun: a play on the name "Obsidian," which is a video game development company that prides itself on making mediocre sequels to largely successful titles.

Gamer 1: That new RPG is coming out next month! Obsidian made it, and it looks really good!

Gamer 2: Yeah, but Absurdian also developed Fallout: New Vegas. Remember how buggy that was when it came out? Don't waste your money on their new release; wait until it gets down to $20. By then, they should have some of the bugs fixed.

absurdism 

Life is meaningless. Have a cup of coffee.

Albert Camus, one of the pioneers of absurdism, once said, "Should I kill myself or, have a cup of coffee?"

Absurdistan 

Your current locale/country when something completely ridiculous happens.

Here in Asburdistan, the State-boys pull over those who "speed" while ignoring those who hog the passing-lane, exhibiting their longest fingers.

absurdium 

A chemical element theorized to be produced by the human body in a certain percentage of the population. The element is suspected to have a clear irreversible degenerative effect on the intellect. It is also a suspected contributor to the 'Bozone Layer' effect (please see Bozone Layer and bozone)

This element is not listed in the Periodic Table. It is illusive and has not yet been synthesized in the lab, and scientists suspect that they will never be able to. Naturally, there will never be a cure that reverses absurdium's effects.

Your idea has the trademark of absurdium.

This is the most banal thing I've heard. You must be on absurdium or something.

Did someone accidentally add few absurdium drops to your kool-aid this morning?

Man, I can smell the absurdium in your breath. It should be illegal for you to think.

absurdist 

Absurdist theater is a phrase coined by Martin Esslin, a theather critic who grouped together several playwrights who wrote in a similar fashion. Absurdist drama is a direct result of World War 2, and is about the way people felt after it. There are three types of Absurdism: Fatalism, Existentialism, and Hilarious. Fatalism is the type of theater Beckett wrote (Waiting for Godot, End Game), where man is trapped in life, even basic communication is cut off. Existentialism is that if there is no point, at least you can rationalize an existance, No Exit is an example of this. Hilarious is the type Ionesco wrote (The Lesson), based off the Neitzsche prinicpal that man invented laughter to keep sanity. The entire point of Absurdism is that there is no point to life on the surface, so there has to be some reason to live. It's an attempt to answer to the fundemental questions, why are we here? etc.

One might argue that Samuel Beckett, the author of Waiting fo Godot, is the best absurdist playwright, even though crictics hated it until a group of prison inmates did a production of it.

Absurdity 

HAHAHAHAHA AHA AHA AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! THAT'S FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!

Hym "I'm glad the absurdity of the world continues to keep me (morally) in the clear. The Lizzard is doing God's work over there. Hahaha! That is great. You guys are the fucking worst. First you try to win the game. Now you're trying to prove that you're right. Why not just cut your losses and take the 'L'? 'We ShOuLdN't HaVe To LoSe To YoU!!! yOuR'e NoT bEtTeR tHaN aLl Of Us!!!' Oh! Be careful! That sounds familiar! You're starting to sound like ME! Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Holy shit! This. Is. Priceless. You HAVE to see how ridiculous this is! There is no way you don't! Hahaha! I can't! I just can't! Why do you guys have to be like this? And on a different note; swollen? Really!? You gotta do better than that! You're almost as bad a Shuuji over there! It does hurt a little bit though. When I bite or open my jaw. Ouch. I appreciate you thinking about me though. Whatever makes you feel better about the situation. Anywho... I wild. And to think, if I hadn't been hired to work in a sex cult none of us would be here right now. I still wouldn't be getting any but I'd probably be striving valiantly toward the future and you wouldn't know I existed. I'd still have people following me but think of all the things that wouldn't have been if I had kept my mouth shut. Hahahahahahaha aha aha! Hoooooo... This is tragic. Truly and seriously tragic."
