pseudocode 

Pseudocode is a description of a computer programming algorithm that uses the structural conventions of programming languages, but omits detailed subroutines or language-specific syntax. It can also refer to a high level 'language' whose aim is to generalise the logic and program flow of a computer program

An example of how pseudocode differs from regular code is below.

Regular code (written in PHP):

<?php
if (is_valid($cc_number)) {
execute_transaction($cc_number, $order);
} else {
show_failure();
}
?>

Pseudocode:

if credit card number is valid
execute transaction based on number and order
else
show a generic failure message
end if

psuedoscience 

A belief system that gives itself the trappings of a science when it actually doesn't adhere much to the scientific method. Can range from something as mild as cryptozoology ("monster hunting", which has its heart in the right place but is far too uncritical of things) to various New Age beliefs, creationism, alternative medicine, etc. etc.

My friend went to a chiropractor, but after he found out that the whole field was a psuedoscience he decided to get massages at home.

pseudocide 

An act of self-harm that is in no way intended to kill the harmee; the sort of attempt to express dissatisfaction with one's life that mental health professionals sometimes refer to as a 'cry for help', for example, Fall Out Boy lead singer Pete Wentz's overdose of the anti-depressant Atavan.

Elton John once committed pseudocide by sticking his head in a gas oven after putting out the pilot light.
