semironic

(adj.) making use of irony partly for the purpose of disguising some genuine interest or affection; using irony to explain a guilty pleasure or a nostalgic attachment

Person 1: Why are you wearing that Power Rangers shirt?
Person 2: Well, at first it was supposed to be ironic, but I actually like the shirt now, so I guess it's only semironic.
Person 1: Oh. That almost makes sense.

semiotics

Codeword for "I'm a big bitch." Used often by pseudointellectuals, "artists" who don't do art but talk about it, and philosophy academics that think with their crotch and talk out their asshole.

As an artist, I'm interested in semiotics and the relationship between excreta and the soul.

semiotic war

Conducting a war using a full range of signs and symbols -- but pointedly excluding violence or other unlawful or violent acts. A war of ideas in the age of internet and multimedia. Compare scamizdat.

The Internet's response to Scientology's attempt to rmgroup alt.religion.scientology included publishing their trade-secret "scriptures," graphically reviling them, putting billboards on trucks and buses, hosting radio talk-show segments, songwriting, projecting laser glyphs on walls, having aircraft pull pennants with slogans, picketing their headquarters, deconstructing their newsletters, creating cartoon lampoons and webpages, and, in other words, full semiotic war.

Semicolonic Irrigation

Also known as the working class bidet. The Semicolonic irrigation is when you stand on your hands in the shower and position yourself so the shower head is aimed directly at your anus.

Joe was not classy enough for a bidet, but suffering from extreme swamp-ass he opted to undergo a semicolonic irrigation.

semiotics

A study of phenomenalism which offers that the "larger" and the right-leaning direction sign are equal to each other.

In other words - - > = >.

Semiotics states that the future is a subset of the past or that "the past is greater."

Semiotics says that "=" is a statement of equivalence--not equality.

Thus signs but not statements, can be equal to themselves.
