Expliment 

Satisfaction from having consciousness of something that was previously unconscious, such as watching a comedian and finally having a way to describe "that thing" you've noticed at an unconscious level for quite some time, or reading about "Words For Things You Never Knew Had Words" and having words for those things.
CHRISTINA: Holy fuck, Jake was such a dick during our argument at dinner. I walked out. And when I was driving home, I had the best comeback!

JESSICA: There's a term for that. Esprit d’Escalier. Staircase wit.

CHRISTINA: There's a term for that?! Oh god, expliment!

Experimental Internet Gas 

This is an absolutely baffling term originating from Marvel's New Warrior's comic reboot. The experimental internet gas gave a character called Screentime (a meme-obsessed teen superhero - literally) his special powers after his grandfather made the gas. This is a legit Marvel creation.

What.
"A Meme-Obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather’s “experimental internet gas.” Now he can see augmented reality and real-time maps, and can instantly Google any fact. Does this make him effectively a genius? He sure acts like it does."

Experimental MRE 

Military slang for a "sensitive item" (ie weapon, GPS, radio) that has been lost in the field or stolen. Jokingly referred to as an Experimental MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) which are field rations.
Bravo Company lost an Experimental MRE. They're on lockdown until somebody finds them.

Serial Experiments Lain 

One of the best anime to come out of Japan during the 1990s. It is not for anime fans whose main interests lie with shows with lots of action or romance. This is one of the most thought provoking shows ever, as it explores philosophical ideas such as the nature of reality, perception, solipcism and the idea of God. As usual with these types of shows, prepare for lots of philosophical exploration, psychology and several instances of mind screw. It is one of the more experimental shows to come out as it shows heavy use of surrealism and avant-garde. It also combines those philosophical and experimental ideas with those of cyberpunk. The creator and main writer of the show also went on to write other thought-provoking classics such as Texhnolyze.
Serial Experiments Lain is certainly one of the more brainy and thought-provoking anime to ever come out but prepare to be confused at certain parts of the show due to its mind screwy nature.

Liquid Tension Experiment

2. A total kick ass band that has the best musicians put together.

social experiment 

Once, ages and ages ago, when a useless samaritan wanted to piss on people for fun, they would be called "fuckheads," or "assfaces." These fuckboys decided that they needed an excuse to be complete dicks to the world, and thus, they adopted the term "social experiment" for their own.

Before the fuckboys came into power, a social experiment was done by a man of science, who wished to learn about the world around them, and they did so with the consent and agreement of all involved.

Not to be confused with a prank, a practical joke in which all parties involved can laugh about it afterwards, a social experiment has come to mean a cruel troll in which a fuckboy does something unimaginably stupid and rude and dismisses it as a practical joke.

Tragic.
Fuckboy Frank: *Shoots a dog*
Sane Samantha: Dude what the fuck
Fuckboy Frank: Chill brah its a social experiment. See theres the camera. Come on it's just a joke.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
