Metroracial

When a person has stopped using adverbs to describe people, such as white guy, Latino guy, black guy, etc. but refers to all people as I met this person. Not I met this black guy, girl, person.

In an effort to contribute to equality for all I have adopted a metroracial philosophy.

Microsocial 

A person who would likely be considered antisocial in a large social system, but is very social in a small group or social unit.

I thought Kyle was antisocial, but is he the life of the lunch table or what? I guess he is just microsocial.

Metasocial Technologies

The tools and platforms designed to analyze, manipulate, or optimize not just social interaction, but the analysis of social interaction itself. This includes sentiment analysis algorithms that track how people feel about how other people feel, social media dashboards that measure the engagement of posts about engagement metrics, and focus groups convened to discuss the results of other focus groups. It's technology that has eaten its own tail and is now trying to figure out what the tail tastes like.

Metasocial Technologies Example: "The marketing team used metasocial technologies to analyze the online discourse about their previous ad campaign, which was itself an analysis of consumer trends. They concluded that the public's perception of their brand's perception-management strategy was 'confused.' They then held a meeting to discuss the implications of this finding."

Metasocial Sciences

The study of the study of society. It's the academic equivalent of holding a mirror up to a mirror and trying to analyze the reflection. Metasocial sciences don't examine social behavior directly; they examine the theories, methods, and biases of the people who examine social behavior. It's a field where you can get a PhD for writing a paper about why other academics wrote their papers the way they did, and the ultimate goal is to achieve a state of analytical navel-gazing so pure that you forget there are actual people involved.

Example: "Her thesis in metasocial sciences was a meta-analysis of the citation patterns in papers about citation patterns. It was considered a landmark study by the three people in the world who understood it, and utterly meaningless by everyone else."

Metasocial Social Sciences

The recursive discipline of applying social scientific methods to the community of social scientists themselves. It's the study of the academic tribes, their rituals (conferences), their status symbols (citations, tenure), and their origin myths (the "founding fathers"). It examines why certain theories become fashionable and others are forgotten, why some departments are feuding and others are allied, and why the phrase "paradigm shift" is used so often it has lost all meaning. It's sociology for sociologists, and it requires a high tolerance for inside jokes.

Example: "A metasocial social sciences study observed that papers with longer titles and more complex jargon were cited more frequently, regardless of their actual content. This confirmed what every grad student suspected: in academia, sounding smart is often more important than being smart."
