applification

The act of simplifying a tool or item to the point where it is no longer practical to use. This word originates from the belief that Apple often creates impractically minimalist software.
The slimming down of BitBucket was an example of applification.

monty pythonesque application of the principles of logic and etymology 

The standard logic used by such people as the knights of the round table. It's sound logic that can only be understood by men of science.

E.g. You want to test if a woman is a witch. You burn witches, but you also burn wood. This means witches burn because they are made of wood. Wood also floats in water, just like a duck. So therefore, if she weighs the same as a duck, then she is made out of wood, and is therefore a witch. Now you must weigh her on a set of large scales with a duck, and if they weigh the same, she is guilty of being a witch.
Well, Bernard, that is some Monty Pythonesque application of the principles of logic and etymology right there!

P-Dub (application)

P-Dub is a term, utilized by "urban health" social workers in British Columbia, Canada. P-Dub eloquently and succinctly refers to Persons with Disabilities (PWD) applications, which are submitted to the BC Ministry of Social Development & Poverty Reduction. Utilizing the term "P-Dub" makes the process of completing these lengthy applications less mind-numbing, thereby improving morale, enthusiasm, and staff retention in the long run.

Please say "P-Dub" the next time you are working on a PWD application, in order to feel united with your fellow social worker colleagues. Blessings!
"Oh damn, I forgot to work on that P-Dub (application) again"

college applications 

1. a lovely way to waste tens of hours writing essays for schools you will not attend in case the school you will attend doesn't accept you
2. a reason to want to die
I thought senior year would be fun, but mostly its just college applications and sadness.
