Frame Control

Frame control is the little-known underlying phenomenon that dictates the outcome of every social interaction. It originates from the domain of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and how we humans categorize different situations into subjective psychological categories. A frame is an instrument you use to package your power, authority, strength, information and status. Almost all high-performance speakers use frame control to control the flow and outcome of a conversation.

It is, in essence, the act of imposing a mental/psychological viewpoint on any situation and forcing that situation to "conform" to that frame or belief. This is a fundamental component of self-motivation and social intelligence.

It generates an invisible energy field around you. The art of frame control requires unconscious conviction in your ideas as well as congruency between your intentions, speech patterns, and body language.

The art of frame control is most commonly used by PUA (pick up artist) and salesmen and is based on the laws of levels of consciousness.
Examples of basic PUA frame control:

Society frame: If a girl has sex with a lot of men, she is a slut.

Alpha male frame: Sex is healthy, normal, fun and a win-win for the girl and me. She wants to have sex with me so she can make a decision if we are a good fit for each other based off our chemistry.

The Art Of Frame Control 

The nature of reality is inherently ambiguous and is open to various interpretations. Gaining a greater degree of control over one's internal and external psychology is the most important factor in increasing one's level of success in all aspects of life. The collective congruency between your internal self and your external results is a Frame. Whoever is more confident in their interpretation will be able to control everyone's interpretations around them, this is known as The Art of Frame Control. Whatever man knows frame control will be able to gain the upper hand in any social situation, whether they are trying to land a big deal, convince their spouse to get on board with a decision, or pick up a hot date.

Josh King Madrid, better known as JetSet or JetSetFly wrote a book called The Art Of Frame Control after writing JETSET Life Hacks.
Billy: I can't find anyone who wants to buy my products and girls never pay me any attention. I been working on my mindset and it's not working. I've tried everything... Josh King Madrid teach me the jet set way so I can level up & live the jetset life too.

JetSetFly: Stop trying so hard and just use The Art Of Frame Control and it will happen automatically and effortlessly.

Dr David Hawkins: That is a fact at 499 LOC, Oh Lord. **Calibrates the LOC of josh king madrid's statement with muscle testing**

2 weeks later:
Billy: I'm now a multi-millionaire with 4 hot girlfriends, thanks for teaching me the art of frame control. The Jet Set Way truly is the only way.
JetSetFly: Makes a lot of sense.

Is used to describe the quickness/hastiness of an action. In videos games, a hitbox appears at some point during a character's attack animation. Some attacks charge-up or go through several frames before the attack lands. Frame 1 is the quickest point at which an attack can come out causing instant damage and usually stun-locking. If a person says they are doing something "frame 1" it means they are doing it instantly.

frame fuck 

During the process of film editing, show runners, head writers, and the like, can, and very often do, focus on miniscule details in a large project. These minor changes will have no overall effect in how the finished product is received by the intended audience, nor does it necessarily make the finished film any better. However it does allow a valve for overactive Ego's to vent. Once the generally non creative individual "puts their stamp" on the project, the rest of us can go about the business of actually getting the work done and meeting our air dates.
I could frame fuck this sequence all night, fact of the matter is, nobody gives a shit when the character blinks. If they are watching him blink, the scene is a failure. You moron.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

Pee Calculus
