correctify 

A portmanteau of correct and rectify.

To correctify something means to obsessively nitpick over details which in the pointy-headed purist's mind are so torturously annoying that he can't help but speak up about it. The significance of such details, however, is pure truthiness.

A behavior commonly associated with period nazis in the SCA and other medieval-recreation societies and LARPs.

Madus as they are used in the Amtgard LARP are hardly recognizable as "actual" madus, yet you'll often see players correctifying each other about what "real" madus should look like.

market correction 

A business term used to describe how a free-market economy balances itself after extreme events run their course like a rising stocks after a recession or the real estate bubble burst. The word crossed over into everyday use to similarly describe when one's fortune or luck changes, for bad or good, changing the course of daily life.

BAD:
Bob: Last summer I was was nailing babes left and right. Now that I'm back at college...nothing!

Pete: Ah, well, you're not that attractive or interesting. You just had a lucky streak. You were due for a market correction. Consider yourself forntunate if any girl even talks to you, bro!

GOOD:
Pete: I was just promoted at work! I've been wasting my talents there for WEEKS, but the VP just quit and they promoted me to replace him. Guess I was due for a market correction, huh? How's the girl situation, Bob?

Bob: I hate you.

Drunk Correction 

A correction angle that is factored into one's beer pong shot due to extensive intoxication.

The size and placement of the angle is completely dependent on the level of intoxication of the shooter. It is also an acquired skill that develops over time and is usually non-existent in those that suck at beer pong and/or drinking.

Note that this is similar to the concept of crosswind correction, an airplane piloting technique referring to the correction needed for a crosswind present during landing.

"Wow, Darren has been drinking heavily all day and he's still hitting cups like a champion. He really has great drunk correction."

"Dammit Matt, either start putting in some drunk correction or I'm finding a new partner. I'm carrying this team, asshole."

correctional work 

An oxymoron because anyone who does this work knows there is no work involved.

Yeah man, I been doing correctional work for just upwards of 20 years now and I’ve gained only a little over a hundred pounds which ain’t too bad considering the truckloads of pizza I must’ve eaten every single day on the job!
