Sibstitution

The practice of substituting one's friends for their own genetic siblings. May be due to geographic or emotional separation. Sometimes this practice is colloquialized as a brother from another mother BFAM.

Steve's brother couldn't make it to the game, so he made a last minute sibstitution with his friend Mike. Stacy sibstituted her friend Becca, because her sister lived 12 hours away.

pillow substitution

The act of switching pillow faces when a pillow becomes too warm due to absorption of the sleeper's body heat. This act can be accomplished by turning the pillow over, revealing the unused and cool side, or by getting a new pillow.

Last night I was pretty hot after doing my girlfriend. So my pillow got really hot and I couldn't fall asleep. That's when I pulled a pillow substitution. It was some tag-team, fresh action.

substitution property

The idea that if a = b, then a may be replaced by b in any mathematical or algebraic expression.

If x = 3, then use 3 instead, its part of the substitution property.
