Karbashewski 

A race made up of only the most awesome people history has ever known. Karbashewski's are the best at everything, including being awesome. Karbashewski's are capable of flying, causing peoples faces to melt with their awesomeness, performing open heart surgery on themselves, speaking french in russian, giving themselves tattoos on their backs while playing chess against two chinese kids, and making the best perogies in the world.

warning, over exposure to a Karbashewski may result in; awesomeness overload, face meltation, learning french in russian.... accidentily, the desire to fight a rhinoceros because that's what the Karbashewski's do, death, accindental death, unaccidental death, certain death, timely death, untimely death, uncertain death, leathal weapon 1 2 and 3, John McClane, and Mel Gibson.
guy1: whoa!!! did that guy just blow up that bulding by looking at it!?

guy2: yeah, he's a Karbashewski.

Kardashevist

Someone who strongly believes that the gods are humanoid extraterrestrials who were so technologically advanced that they scientifically became concious holograms living in their own matrix (simulated dimension powered by the stars) and could hack into other's minds or that the point in life is to become such a being by inspiring humanity to reach type 5 + civilization, on The Kardashev Scale.

(Very similar to my definition of transcendentalist. Please read it for more information).
'The scientist laughed, 'You are just a pseudoscientist', but the Kardashev scale theorist retorted, 'No, I am a Kardashevist: The science theorist of the future.'

Kardashevian Mechanics

The branch of mega-engineering and physics concerned with the practical construction, stabilization, and operation of the unimaginably vast structures and energy systems required by high-level Kardashev civilizations. It's the "nuts and bolts" of godlike power: the math for stabilizing a rotating ringworld, the materials science for a Dyson Sphere's solar-collector panels, or the orbital dynamics for moving stars. This is the applied engineering manual for beings who treat planets as LEGO bricks and stars as furnaces.
Example: The calculations needed to prevent a Matrioshka Brain (a nested series of Dyson Spheres) from collapsing into its star under gravity and radiation pressure, or the logistics of using gravitational lensing to focus multiple stars' energy onto a single point for a project, are problems of Kardashevian Mechanics.

Kardashevian Technologies

The specific tools, energy sources, and infrastructures employed by civilizations operating at Kardashev-scale levels. These are not just bigger versions of our tech; they are qualitatively different concepts. Think star-lifting equipment to mine a sun's hydrogen, spacetime-altering engines for moving solar systems, or quantum-consciousness networks spanning a galaxy. The technology ceases to be something you hold and becomes an environment you live within, often blurring the line between a machine and a natural cosmic phenomenon.
Kardashevian Technologies Example: A Shkadov Thruster—a stellar engine that uses a giant mirror to turn an entire star into a rocket for moving a solar system through space—is a quintessential Kardashevian Technology. It's a tool, but its "handle" is a star and its "power cord" is gravity itself.

Kardashevian Engineering

The actual practice of constructing megastructures and manipulating celestial bodies. It's the applied version of Kardashevian Mechanics, involving timelines of millennia, workforces of self-replicating machines, and a tolerance for risk that includes "if we fail, we might accidentally cause a supernova." This engineering discipline deals with project management where the worksite is light-years across and the building materials are asteroids, comets, and starlight.
Example: The coordinated effort to disassemble Mercury to provide raw materials for a Dyson Swarm is an act of Kardashevian Engineering. It requires planning on geological timescales, autonomous robotic swarms, and solutions for heat dissipation that would vaporize any known terrestrial material.
