Elliptic curve

(NOT AN ELLIPSE!!!) Elliptic curve: y*y = x*x*x + A*x + B for some A and B. Seemingly simple enough (if you've gotten past high school algebra at least). However, if you make some special points, you can create a whole new number system. And there are so many of these (just change your values for A and B).

Elliptic curve cryptography are based on the idea that multiplying by, say, 329857349875 isn't *that* hard... but dividing by it is HELL. It's a reliable one-way function, which is pretty important for encryption! Another application is factorization, but I'm not too sure on that one so ask google ig

flipped elliptic 

The flipped elliptic is the name of the coolest skateboarding trick known to man, except it isn't known to man. This is a super cool name for a super cool nonexistent trick.

Bro 1: "Bro, I just landed the flipped elliptic on my skateboard yesterday!"
Bro 2: "Oh yeah? What did it it look like?"
Bro 1: "I don't know but I totally landed it!"

elliotic argument 

An argument that is so bad that it is instantly destroyed by everyone who encounters it. An argument that is so clearly false that the only person who could possibly take it seriously is someone who is borderline retarded. To be a true elliotic argument the argument must be defended by a deluded fool who despite his extreme inadequacies suffers from a severe case of megalomania.

have you seen this guy who calls himself The AK? His arguments are so bad that they qualify as elliotic arguments.

ellipticated

Joe: It was radical! I ellipticated for 30 minutes.

Elliptical potato 

Person who watches television while working out at home on an elliptical trainer, on the base of a rating system in which tv shows get labeled as "worth watching from the couch" or "can totally be seen during exercise".

The tv shows belonging to this last category are watched just to keep track of the story while waiting for the occasional good episode that justifies remaining attached to a series that outrunned it's original concept, or for that one-per-episode cool computer graphic effect. They can be followed just fine by listening and looking at the screen every 5 seconds or so. In the case of movies, they usually are cheap B movies often downloaded from the internet or rented by mistake.

The key concept of this activity is multitasking, originating from the fact that:
a) one has not enough couch-time to watch tv from sitting positions
b) one lacks the determination to stay put and watch a now boring show just to see how it ends
c) one wants something to distract him from the pains of fat-burning.

Michael: Well, time to go, i need to burn some fat.

Michael: Hey, i might be an elliptical potato, but The office will *always* get some couch time from me.
