Metaphilosophy of Science

The philosophical examination of the philosophy of science itself—the study of how we study science. Metaphilosophy of Science asks meta-questions: What are the methods of philosophy of science? Is it descriptive or normative? How does it relate to history and sociology of science? Is it making progress? What counts as a good theory in philosophy of science? Metaphilosophy of Science is philosophy of science's self-reflection—the discipline that keeps it from becoming dogmatic by forcing it to examine its own assumptions.

"You're debating Kuhn vs. Popper. Metaphilosophy of Science asks: why are these the options? Who decides what counts as a good philosophy of science? How does philosophy of science itself change over time? You're so deep in the debate you haven't asked what the debate is for. Step back—that's metaphilosophy of science."

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.

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
