The term is in reference to the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who is punished by being forced to roll a boulder up a mountain, only for the boulder to fall back once nearing the top.

Sisyphus Prime 

Bigger Badder and Radder version of bitch baby Minos Prime. Instead of Minos's charge up sequence where he has to be birthed from his flesh prison, Sisyphus kills his flesh prison (called the flesh panopticon) from the inside. bro is just built different... oh yeah, also instead of Minos's speech which was something like "thanks for freeing me, imma beat the shit outta you." was nice compared to Sissy's speech of (Imma beat the shit outta you, and god himself!" still got beat by a gro-pro with legs, skill issue imo...
(also this is a bit off topic but where are the souls going? does V1 just have some spare black soul gems in his inventory for prime souls? like are they going to extra hell? if we keep diving further are we going to reach that extra hell and meet them both? Maybe they combined into a combined Prime soul named "Sisyphos Prime" or something...)
Person trying to beat Sisyphus "Ok google, how do you beat Sisyphus Prime?"
Souls game lookin ass google "Parry, Block, Dodge Kid... Parry, Block, Dodge."
Person trying to beat Sisyphus "k..."

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
