celemorial

a combined celebration and memorial.

New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin proposed a celemorial for the first anniversary of hurricane Katrina. It might include fireworks and a talent show, but also a memorialization of the tragedy.

ceremonial code 

Computer programming code (typically APIs in a framework) where the use requires many specific things to be done before and/or after it in order for it to function but had it been in a more elegant way, could have been eliminated entirely. Many times the designers of these frameworks feel that what they're doing is so big, complex and important that requiring the consumers to perform the ceremony is completely justifiable. If they make it easy for you, they don't think you'll appreciate their genius. It can many times be assumed that the author would add that you kneel before him/her before you get the privilege of using their API if that were practice didn't completely expose their douchbaggery. They tend to get off on their (over-engineered) "cleverness" (codesturbation) and want others to regard them as code masters as well.

Microsoft's .NET framework requires a lot of ceremonial code to accomplish some truly mundane tasks... whereas Ruby On Rails thinks all that ceremony is simply a waste of developer time.

ceremonial grade 

When you create something or take part in an activity with intention and presence. First heard in reference to cacao ceremonies.

Friend 1: Please come to my cacao ceremony next weekend.
Friend 2: That sounds fun. I've never been. Where do you get your cacao? Is it just Hershey's chocolate?
Friend 1: No, it's ceremonial grade cacao sourced from Peru with intention from the farmers and it's fair trade.
Friend 2: Sounds like an even higher grade and more pure than pharmaceutical grade anything...
Friend 1: Exactly. I can't wait to hear your intention at the ceremony. And next up, we'll have a cannabis ceremony with ceremonial grade cannabis.

Something regarding a celebrity or something for a celebrity. Not to be confused with Cerebral

ceremonial sniff 

Something all people do after fingering a girl. If you've ever fingered a girl before, you know exactly what I'm talking about. "checking the goods" is one way of putting it.

"So I finally fingered Delilah"
"...and everything was in order"
"Yeah I did the ceremonial sniff, everything checks out ok"

Ceremonials 

55 minutes and 58 seconds of perfection in the form of Florence + The Machine's sophomore album.

My absolute favorite album of all time ever is Ceremonials.

Ceremonial Squats 

Whether it be a video game, or real life, each event in history requires drastic actions to be taken by a person, or people, there, usually in the process of humiliating another person, therefore proving that you are the superior human being in both supreme skill, and good looks, of course. This technique is acquired by placing yourself nearby or over the humili-ee, and proceeding to take your scrotum out of your pants (this applies to females, too), and placing them on said person's face, also whilst doing a squatting motion; as in standing-crouching-standing, etc.

Usually referred to (by those with lesser skill) as "teabagging".

If there is a group of people, and not enough room for everyone to crowd around one body, instead one person stands over the body and performs Ceremonial Squats on said person's face, whilst everyone else does it in close proximity, therefore transferring the chakra of all the squats combined toward the person standing over the body, in turn providing a much fuller force as if everyone were doing it at once to the same body. Essentially, a Dragonball Z-esque moment.

Example 1:
"HYPER COMBO K.O.!"
Gaz: "Yes, I won!"
Matt: "How will you celebrate?"
Gaz: "Gotta do some Ceremonial Squats. Just let me plonk my balls on his face."

Example 2:
Gaz: "YES! Time for some Ceremonial Squats."
Tom: "Agh! Could you please get your balls out of my face?!"
Alex: "You know, I could file that under paedophilia..."

Example 3:
Gaz: "People of Earth, give me your power!"
People of Earth: "Clearly wants the D. That guy got dicked on."
