Quantum Cognition

A research framework in cognitive science that uses the mathematical formalisms of quantum theory (like superposition, interference, and entanglement) to model human decision-making and judgment when it's ambiguous, context-dependent, or paradoxical. It doesn't mean the brain is a quantum computer, but that our cognitive uncertainties behave mathematically like quantum probabilities. It explains why your opinion can be in a superposition until you're forced to choose, or how asking a question (measuring) can change the answer.
Example: "I couldn't decide on the vacation. Quantum cognition explains it: my mind was in a superposition of 'beach' and 'mountains' until my wife asked 'Do you want sunscreen?'—collapsing my mental wave function instantly to 'mountains.' The question itself changed the answer."

Spacetime-Probability-Initial Conditions Quantum Mechanics

The full six-dimensional quantum framework, where quantum phenomena are understood as unfolding across space, time, probability, and the full spectrum of initial conditions. In this framework, the quantum state of a system includes not just its spacetime coordinates and probability branches but its complete history—the initial conditions that shaped its evolution. This theory explains why quantum systems retain information about their past, why measurements can reveal not just current state but historical trajectory, and why the universe at its most fundamental level is a record of everything that ever happened. Spacetime-probability-initial conditions quantum mechanics is the physics of memory at the quantum level, where the past is not lost but encoded in the present.
Spacetime-Probability-Initial Conditions Quantum Mechanics Example: "He applied spacetime-probability-initial conditions quantum mechanics to his personal growth, imagining that every choice, every event, every starting point was encoded in his quantum state. He wasn't just his present self; he was the sum of all his histories, all his branches, all his initial conditions. The theory made him feel more solid, more real—not just a momentary configuration but a four-dimensional (now six-dimensional) being with depth and history."

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".
A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

Stink lines

As seen in illustrations or cartoons: Wavy, vertical lines rising above a person, place or thing. Denotes a foul odor.

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.
