Geodynamics of Gemology

The specific application of geodynamic principles to the world of precious stones. It's the study of the immense social and financial pressures that cause trends in the gem market to "fold" and "fault." This includes analyzing how a celebrity engagement ring acts as an "igneous intrusion," forcing a new gemstone (like a morganite or a padparadscha sapphire) into the public consciousness and displacing the established "sedimentary" layers of diamond dominance.

Example: "When Meghan Markle wore that aquamarine ring, the geodynamics of gemology went into overdrive. The tectonic plates of the jewelry industry shifted overnight, and suddenly every bride wanted a blue-green rock, causing a massive upthrust in the price of aquamarines and a corresponding trough for traditional emeralds."

Geodynamics of Geology

A recursive field of study examining how the study of rocks itself moves and changes over time. It’s the "meta" layer of geology, focusing on the shifting academic preferences, funding earthquakes, and eruptive trends in geological theory. This discipline tracks the "plate tectonics" of scientific consensus, noting how a focus on mineralogy can be abruptly subducted by a new, flashy trend in paleomagnetism. It’s the study of the sociology of rock nerds and how their collective focus drifts across the continental crust of knowledge.

Example: "The geodynamics of geology shifted seismically last year when that viral TikTok about 'self-care crystals' caused a massive migration of grad students from hard-rock petrology into the suddenly lucrative field of gemological sociology."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

Looking or experiencing something nice after witnessing something horrid like a disgusting gif or a disturbing video. Typically used as eye bleach are nice images of whatever makes the disturbed person happy.

*Looks up images of puppies and kittens.*
"That's good eye bleach."
