Adception

An ad within an ad. This can often occur when watching a YouTube video when the main video is an ad but a commercial plays before it. A play on the word "Ad" and the movie title "Inception."
It's a case of Adception!

Adception

The clever corporate marketing strategy of placing an ad within an ad.
John: I was shopping online, hit an ad for HP toner, bought some and when it arrived, there were ads for Directv inside the box! That's some serious adception.

Jane: Well, I started seeing posters for it on buses and watched the trailer...when I actually saw the movie, there were ads before the previews and product placement throughout the whole thing. Excessive adception me want to walk out!

Adoption

An "adoption" in chess is when one player beats another 10 in a row in the same time control, with no draws.
An adoption occurred on Chess Grandmaster Eric Hansen's twitch stream when he was challenged by Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura and proceeded to lose ten games in a row to Hikaru.

contraption adaption

1) The period of time needed to familiarize oneself with a new electronic device.
2) Often, a period of extreme anxiety and frustration stemming from one's need to learn a lot of technical information in a short to non-existent period of time.
1) "I'm sorry, Joe. I won't be in to work today. I'm exhausted from staying up all night learning how to use my new i-phone and am suffering this morning from a bad case of contraption adaption."

2) "I'm now limiting my persuit of new e-toys to only those gadgets with a low level of contraption adaption."

3) The salesguy said: "If you buy this new Mac laptop today, I guarantee you'll start using it today." "Yeah, sure", I said. "I'll BET there's no contraption adaption for THIS machine!"
