Splinex 

A term used to describe a transcended knowledge which stands in the face of known and widely accepted facts (often scientific)

We don't KNOW that if we go to touch a table that our hand is not going to go through the table we are only basing this assumption on past experiences.

Additionally who is to say that 2 + 2 = 4 ? what is 4 ? maybe 4 is splinex.

reticulating splines 

Nonsense technobabble used in a production context.

Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.

Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.

See also processor gremlins for the computer hardware equivalent.

Sorry the video took so long to upload. Reticulating splines took hours!

reticulating splines

I just generated a random map, but had to wait for the game to finish reticulating splines.
