infinition (definition + infinitity) Ð an infinite process of defining something that cannot be fully or precisely defined; an endless list of possible definitions.
Certain fluid concepts in their emergent state are subject to in-finition--infinite dispersal of their meaning--rather than to definition. To infine is to suggest the infinity of possible definitions of a certain term or concept and therefore to problematize its meaning and the possibility or the benefit of defining it. If definition circumscribes a specific conceptual area, then infinition releases the concept from restricting demarcations and places it in an indeterminate zone. For example, Jacques Derrida never defines his method of deconstruction but only infines it in numerous passages. Infinition is for the humanities what for mathematics is a transcendental number with its "infinite decimal expansion" expressed by a non-periodic decimal fraction: an endless approximation to and escape from a discrete definition.

Get the Infinitos mug.This is an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours brought on by excessive amounts of erectile dysfunction medication or sexual performance supplements. A doctor is not contacted in the case of an infiniboner. An infiniboner is usually paired together with strippers, prostitutes and cocaine with the intent of a never-ending sexual performance. It is the everlasting gobstopper or energizer bunny boner of boners.
Lamar Odom used up to 10 sexual performance supplements to land himself a legendary infiniboner at a Vegas brothel.

Get the Infiniboner mug.A number so large, it can only be described as a 1 followed by an infinite line of zeros. Since it is an infinitely large number, some would argue that it is in fact infinity, but infinity is an abstract concept that cannot be defined as even or odd, while infinitillion is very much even because it can be divided by 2 an infinite amount of times and remain an integer.
