laboratory

A word which no American seems to be capable of pronouncing correctly. Always pronounced 'labratory.'

It's 'labOratory!' Why? 'Cos there are two fucking Os in it!

laboratory

A word pronounced as "lab."

Douches will say "la-bor-a-tory."

"I say Jeeves, where in your laboratory is all that Frankenstein shit?"

Me: "Sorry, our lab was busy finding a cure for cancer."

Laboratory Bias

A systemic flaw where data and phenomena observed in controlled, simplified laboratory conditions fail to accurately represent their behavior in the messy, complex, and interconnected real world. This bias arises because labs deliberately isolate variables and eliminate "noise," which often strips away the very contextual forces that shape outcomes in nature, society, or technology. The lab result is "true" only within its sterile vacuum, creating a potentially dangerous illusion of understanding that cracks under real-world pressures. It's the map that's perfectly accurate for a single, empty room, but useless for navigating a city.

Example: A social psychology study on altruism conducted in a lab with college students playing for token rewards might show people are fairly cooperative. This Laboratory Bias would completely miss how altruism collapses under real-world stresses like economic scarcity, tribal politics, or anonymous online interactions. The lab finding is valid, but its translation to reality is broken.

Dexter's Laboratory 

A show on Cartoon Network that focuses on a boy-genius shortie named Dexter. He is usually seen in the show in his lab doing random experiments, while his ditzy ballerina of a sister Dee-Dee messes everything up, thus causing Dexter's temper to go up and kicking her out.

Dexter's hot Mom and smart-ass Dad know NOTHING about what their son is up to. Nothing at all. Dexter also has to face his worst enemy Mandark almost every-day. Mandark, however, is in love with Dee-Dee.

Oh yeah, speaking of Mandark, his parents are hippies. They don't understand his craving for evil and to make Dee-Dee his girlfriend. They want him growing up to be nice and have peace like they do.

Has anyone ever noticed that Dexter's Mom has such a huge butt?

Has anyone ever noticed that Mandark loves Dee-Dee for no reason?

Has anyone ever noticed how Mandark's mother and father never understand him?

Why is Dee-Dee so ditzy anyway? All she does is annoy Dexter to bits!

But otherwise, Dexter's Laboratory is the bomb! Woo-hoo!
