Metaphysical Sciences

The rigorous academic study of things that, by definition, exist beyond the physical world, which makes data collection a bit of a challenge. It's the field where your laboratory is your mind, your primary instrument is intuition, and your control group is "people who haven't had the experience." Metaphysical sciences attempt to apply the scientific method—hypothesis, experimentation, conclusion—to phenomena like telepathy, past lives, and the feeling that someone is watching you (even when they are, in fact, watching you). Peer review is difficult when the evidence is vibes-based.

Example: "She claimed her degree in metaphysical sciences allowed her to quantitatively measure auras. When asked for her methodology, she said she 'just kinda feels it, you know?' Her data was considered statistically insignificant but spiritually very meaningful."

Metaphysical Social Sciences

The study of how groups of people collectively shape, and are shaped by, metaphysical beliefs and experiences. It examines the social dynamics of UFO convention attendees, the hierarchy of Reiki master circles, and the unspoken rules of the new age bookstore (thou shalt not mock the angel cards). It explores how shared beliefs in the unseen create community, establish status, and occasionally lead to conflict over whose unseen being is more powerful. It's anthropology for people who believe in fairies.

Example: "A study in metaphysical social sciences observed that at psychic fairs, the booths with the most elaborate purple velvet drapes consistently attracted more clients, regardless of the psychic's actual accuracy. It confirmed that in the realm of the unseen, presentation is 90% of the game."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

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!
