premature acceleration
When the person behind you in traffic changes lanes and accelerates to pass only to find that there is not enough room and they have to get back in line.
Driver: Did you see that guy try to pass me? He had to slow down and get back in line.
Passenger: Yeah, that was a case of premature acceleration.

Accelerationism
A political philosophy that maintains that a country's current government/society is broken beyond repair, and the only way to fix it is to force things to get even worse so as to completely collapse the system under its own weight and remake it.
Often related to "taking the black pill."

Joey believes in accelerationism because he hates the world he lives in so much that he figures utter chaos is better than what's currently ongoing.

accucination
When a fact is imagined and applied as proof in an accusation.
A portmanteau of accusation and hallucination.

Person A: I heard that one in ten people have, at one time, eaten some of their own foreskin and you're the tenth person I've met today, so... QED
Person B: Actually, you didn't count yourself
Person A: Curses! My accucination has backfired!

acceleration
Defined as the change in velocity over a period of time. Acceleration is a vector quantity and therefore is stated as a quantity with a direction.
a = (v-u)/t (where a, v and u are vectors)
Where (using SI units):
a = acceleration of the body in metres per second per second (ms^-2, or metres per second squared)
v = final velocity of the body in metres per second (ms^-1)
u = initial velocity of the body in metres per second (ms^-1)
t = time period between the initial and final velocity, in seconds (s)
An accelerating body can also be decelerating (ie, negative acceleration) or be at rest. Also, instantaneous acceleration is a bit different.

1) A car that is travelling at 2ms^-1 changes its speed to 6ms^-1 over a period of five seconds, and doesn't change direction. During that five seconds, it had an average acceleration of .8ms^-2 in initial direction.
2) A car travelling forwards at 2ms^-1 is suddenly put into reverse and five seconds later it is travelling 2ms^-2 backwards. It's average acceleration is .8ms^-2 backwards (-.8ms^-2 forwards). Note in this example, the car would have been temporarily at rest just when it changes direction. It is still accelerating (in negative direction, ie backwards, ie decelerating) during this period.

Premature Acceleration
When a automobile begins to accelerate before it is prudent. Most often witnessed at intersections that are controlled by traffic lights when a driver incorrectly assumes that it is his turn to go next.
Driver: Look at that guy raring to go. I'll bet he doesn't know that it's my turn to go next.
<Car in question moves about a foot and then stops abruptly as he realizes his light did not change green>
Passenger: How embarrassing; a classic case of premature acceleration.

Pink Cloud
12 step recovery jargon referring to someone new who talks about how great life is, now that they're sober. Usually meaning that the person is out of touch with reality.
The new guy seems pretty happy for a dude who has no job, no money and no family. He must be on a pink cloud.

Striver
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.
The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.
The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.
