centrivism

Centrivism is the approach to positive, meaningful and sustainable social change and public policy that seeks to find solutions that are broadly and diversely responsive to efficient and effective ideas and concerns of competing political factions. A person that actively practices or supports centrivism is a centrivist.
That woman running as an independent candidate is a wizard of centrivism. She is such a good listener and so creative in proposing solutions for the city that cause people who have been fighting over the problem to endorse compromises that are better than any of their original ideas.

ego-centrifuge 

A complex centrifuge designed to condensate, and thus enhance, a human's or other living thing's ego. While moderate treatments are said to have an encouraging and self-centering effect particularly on shy characters (as for instance emos), overexposure may result in a critical level of self-esteem surplus. The only apparatus known to create d-granite.
You're so arrogant, did you spend last night in the ego-centrifuge?

That emo kid should really spend a good day in the ego-centrifuge!

Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy

An advanced, consumerist form of tetherball played by the children in Aldous Huxley's novel, Brave New World.
You can't play Electro-magnetic Golf according to the rules of Centrifugal Bumble-puppy.

The Director and his students stood for a short time watching a game of Centrifugal
Bumble-puppy. Twenty children were grouped in a circle round a chrome steel tower.
A ball thrown up so as to land on the platform at the top of the tower rolled down
into the interior, fell on a rapidly revolving disk, was hurled through one or other of
the numerous apertures pierced in the cylindrical casing, and had to be caught.

Avalon Centrifuge

Avalon Centrifuge is a character introduced in LittleBigPlanet 2. He is a well known face in the science sector, as the inventor of science itself, and of ingenious furry inventions, robots disguised as animals. He is the Creator Curator and dictator of Avalonia, a city in the skies that he treats as labs and as home.

Avalon is a small statured man with a body type similar to that of Sackboy's, even up to the seams in his head. He has a big pink nose and a thick ginger mustache coming out of it. His hair is curly and ginger, styled in a mullet, but he does have a bald spot. His skin is pink, however his eyes are constantly covered by a pair of dark red shades with white frames. He has a portable mic around his head that connects to a belt around his waist. His clothes are very "disco" and feature a pair of tight white pants and a white jacket that reveals his bare chest which is very hairy in a tuft of unkept ginger hair.
