Sociological Imagination 

A meaningless term used to legitimize the Global London course at the University of Notre Dame London study abroad program. Concepts associated with the sociological imagination include: challenging the obvious, making gross stereotypes about an entire population based on one person's experience, relinquishing any concept of personal free will because all thoughts and actions are obviously determined by societal pressures, white guilt for oppressing the minorities and not being socially welcoming, and an intense love for immigrants.
Today in seminar, I used my sociological imagination to examine the contested history of African migration to London.

Sociogetically

(adv.)
In a manner that assumes the listener will intuitively grasp the generative logic of a social or conceptual system without explicit guidance, prioritization, or clarification.
"The professor explained the theory sociogetically, dropping jargon without flagging the core principles."

"When people explain things they use extra terms and never explain what is important to remember, and what is not; expecting one to understand it sociogetically."
