The act of pouring cereal into a bowl of milk leftover from a bowl of cereal. Instead of throwing out the milk, one may proportionalize, and pour some more cereal into the bowl in order to properly and deliciously finish the milk. Often, there will be about half of the milk leftover. Thus, one would pour about half of the amount of cereal than initially poured.
A term used to describe two or more amounts, physical or metaphorical, that seem to take on a property of percentage. That is, when one amount rises, the other must drop in order to keep the maximum percentage at one hundred. (100%) This normally works against someone, especially the one who points out the counter-proportion.
It seems like the amount of friends a guy has on MySpace or Facebook is counter-proportionate to how many friends he has in real life.
God, it seems like the more this kid I'm babysitting likes a toy, the more noise it makes, the less I can enjoy myself while I'm watching him. Money be damned, I'm not doing this anymore.
