i am pretending to type something

when you are supposed to be doing work at school but you are doing something else on your computer and your teacher walks by so you write "I am pretending to type something" so it looks like you're busy working.

-hey, what were you typing in class yesterday?
-i was typing "i am pretending to type something".

system of ascending precedents

a sequence of events wherein each event sets a new, higher standard that will act as a precedent for all subsequent events.
-As far as I know, this phrase has never been coined or defined before.

Bob tells funny stories and does spontaneous imitations at work. each one is a little funnier than the one before. his co-worker's expectations track with his performance so that now he has to maintain the gradient of improvement every time he opens his mouth or, - and this is the key- they will respond as if it was less funny than it really is. He has trapped himself in a system of ascending precedents.
