Firmacity 

The degree in which an item or structure remains unaltered while being pressed or leaned upon.
A measurement of a structure or object's steadfastness

The Firmacity of Jenna's butt is so amazing I take it as proof of intelligent design.
I can't sleep on this pillow, its firmacity isn't up to the par required by my awesome head.
The firmacity of this candy bar makes me think it has been expired for quite sometime.

Step Out of Formality 

To be uncommon, not following the rules and standards set by others.

You have always looked at how others see you. You have to step out of formality.

Formality wash 

A very quick hand wash (generally not involving soap) by a person who has just urinated in a public restroom, expressly to let others in the restroom see they haven't left without washing, when otherwise - had there been no one else in the restroom - they wouldn't bother

Restroom patron 1: "That guy barely got his hands wet at the sink, then walked out!"

Restroom patron 2: "Yeah, that's a formality wash"

Ferdacity

The level of how ferda an individual is and how likely they are to be fer da boys. Kids from Long Island, otherwise knows as Flids, tend to argue that they are more ferda than the average human -- this is false information. It is believed that all people were born with the same level of ferdacity, and one increases in ferdacity by doing heinous things for their boys #nohomo.

Harris: Guys, Ziggy made pancakes! His ferdacity level is off the charts!

Jake: So fucking ferda....so fucking well respected....

Formality 

A byproduct of customs and morals, derived where formality is already "dead" or out-dated and, popularly, seens to prevent progress or simply kills usable time with something unimportant.

Tying ties for special occasions such as a job interview or marriages with the Double-windsor knot is a formality just as much as using a Three piece suit with three buttons and single breasted.

Formality Bias

A cognitive bias that consists of overvaluing form (logic, structure, method, procedure) at the expense of content (substance, context, meaning). Those who suffer from this bias believe that an argument is good simply because it follows formal rules (syllogisms, statistics, protocols), regardless of its adequacy to reality or its consequences. Formality bias is the basis of empty formalism: people who use technical jargon, complicated diagrams, or impressive equations to give the appearance of rigor to weak arguments. It is very common in certain pockets of strongly restricted analytical philosophy (where logical structure is valued more than intuition), in bureaucracies (where following procedure is more important than solving the problem), and in internet debates (where posting a link to a study is valued more than interpreting the study). The irony: excessive formality can generate absurd conclusions because it ignores the contingent and social nature of knowledge.

Formality Bias Example: “The debater presented a formally valid argument in propositional logic. But the premises were false. When alerted, he replied: ‘The form is correct, that’s what matters. You can discuss the content later.’ Pure Formality Bias.”

Theory of Constructed Formality

A meta‑theoretical framework arguing that what we call “formal” (rules, procedures, logical systems, mathematical structures) are not discovered but constructed by human communities for specific purposes, and that this constructed nature is often obscured by the very success of formalisation. The theory rejects the idea that formal systems are “out there” waiting to be found; instead, they are tools built from available materials, shaped by social needs, and subject to revision. It explains why different societies have developed different formal systems, and why even the most rigorous formalisms carry the fingerprints of their creators.

Example: “The theory of constructed formality explained why Euclidean geometry was considered ‘true’ for millennia—not because it was absolute, but because it was constructed for a world of human‑scale measurements, and its replacements are newer constructions.”
