(n) - An unstable combination of women that increases ambient bitchiness. This can occur when the natural vibrating frequencies emitted from one woman's vagina interfere with those of another, causing an unappealing positive feedback (aka vagitation) that attenuates the mood of all women contributing to the dissonance. The intensity of vaginal dissonance is directly proportional to 1) the average distance between each vagina, and 2) the average amplitude of emitted vaginal frequencies, which can vary dramatically between women. It is believed that most documented cases of PMS are actually mistaken episodes of vaginal dissonance.

Bob: "Dude, do not go in that room right now."
Paul: "Why?"
Bob: "Because my sister and her mother-in-law are both in there, and the vaginal dissonance is extreme."
Paul: "Damn...would you like to get a taco or something?"
Bob: "Would I!"

ludonarrative dissonance

What happens when the narrative (story) of a game conflicts with the mechanics (stuff the player does.)

"The cutscene says my character is sensitive and kind... but I just blew off 6 innocent people's heads for the lulz and the game was totally cool with that. There's some serious ludonarrative dissonance going on here."

cocknative dissonance

When your mind tells you to avoid someone but your dick tells you to go for it.

Last night I had serious cocknative dissonance, I was talking to this really hot chick who seemed into me, but then she told me that she blew a trucker for a ride once, but I still wanted to hook up with her.

"smoking will most likely cause you to have cancer you know?"

"hmmm I'm not so sure I know people who have smoked all their lives and they're fine, plus I enjoy it anyway.." this is cognitive dissonance
