Metamechanics

A speculative or philosophical approach examining the foundational principles, assumptions, and limits of classical mechanics (Newtonian physics). It asks: What do concepts like "force," "mass," and "causality" truly mean? Why do Newton's laws work so well, and where do they break down? It’s the "physics of physics" at the macro scale, questioning the rulebook we take for granted before diving into the math. It's the bridge between the practical engineering of mechanics and the deep philosophy of physics.
Example: A physicist pondering whether "force" is a real entity in the world or just a useful mathematical bookkeeping tool for tracking momentum changes is engaging in Metamechanics. They’re not calculating trajectories; they're investigating the ontological baggage of the equations they use every day.

Ketamechanics

Snortified technicians who take ketamine while trying fixing an automobile; & then get themselves so stuck in a k-hole, that they can’t get themselves, or the vehicle out of the garage.
My friend snorted a few lines of ketamine with my son and I watched those two ketamechanics try to remove and replace the timing belt and water pump on his PT Cruiser.

MekaMechanic

A somewhat popular overwatch ship between Brigitte and D.Va. Normally ship names are the two characters names put together, but in this case the ship name is referencing D.va’s meka (the machine she pilots) and the fact that Brigitte is a mechanic.
What’s that ship with Dva and brig called again?” “MekaMechanic”
