Principle of Relative Reason

A meta‑principle that what counts as good reasoning is relative to a framework of norms, goals, and contexts. There is no single universal standard of rationality; instead, reasoning is judged by its appropriateness to the specific domain (science, law, ethics, daily life). It challenges monistic accounts of rationality.

Principle of Relative Reason Example: “The principle of relative reason explains why Bayesian reasoning works for statistics but not for existential decisions—different domains have different rationalities.”

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!
