Foremism 

An original thought that can said by a quick thinking person,
that is totally random. It can be a funny thought, It can be a quote, it can be serious. You must be quick on your feet to respond to anyone's status on Facebook, Twitter, and My Space. However, you must also be able to do it face to face without a lot of thought. Must be ORIGINAL or it is not a "Foremism." It has to be something you have not heard any other person say.
Here's another "Foremism"..That little Ibis is tarred and feathered, ala Albert the Alligator. (relating to the gators and the U)!

Barnumism-Forerism

An ideological commitment to explaining away any personal validation, self-insight, or meaningful coincidence as "just the Barnum Effect" (the tendency to accept vague, general personality descriptions as uniquely applicable to oneself). Barnumism-Forerism treats "Barnum effect" as a magic explanation that ends inquiry: astrology works? Barnum effect. Personality test resonated? Barnum effect. Any self-description that feels true? Barnum effect. The fallacy lies in using the concept as a dismissal rather than understanding why people find meaning in certain descriptions. It's debunkism applied to self-knowledge—skepticism that has forgotten to be skeptical about its own explanations.
"He read her horoscope and it felt eerily accurate. Barnumism-Forerism says: just Barnum effect, nothing to see. But why do certain descriptions resonate? Why do some cultures develop sophisticated systems of self-understanding? Explaining away isn't explaining; it's just dismissing. Barnumism-Forerism uses a real phenomenon to avoid real questions."
