gillism 

A common and dysfunctional conversational practice in which the listener turns the speaker's experience around in order to make themselves and their experience, point of view, situation, the central and singular focus of the conversation.

"My husband was out of town on business on Father's Day."
Gillism response: "My Tony was on his death bed on Father's Day with a triple ear infection and poison ivy over 80% of his body, and a fever of 104 DEGREES!!!"

the gillis principle

The Gillis Principle outlines the proportionality between the amounts of mountain dew and marijuana that would kill an average human.

Mathematically, 1 Gillis (Gi) is the unit of either substance (Marijuana or Mountain Dew) that would kill a human when consumed within an hour. Both substances have calculated conversion rates based on experimental data.

Mountain Dew: 8823mg Caffeine = ~173 cans = 61L = 1Gi/Hour
Marijuana: 68000g THC = 971 000 Joints = 1Gi/Hour

It can be concluded using the Gillis Principle that Mountain Dew has a far higher lethality rate than Marijuana.

Friend 1: "Hey, did you hear? Jared smoked himself to death last night."
Friend 2: "Yeah that must've been a Gillis-ton of weed!"
Friend 1: "Using the Gillis Principle, that was like 971 000 Joints."

Terry Gilliam 

One of the greatest, most twisted directors of all time, who has to date made criminally few films and is plagued by terrible luck. Best known for his Monty Python animations, "Brazil", and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", but actually the rest of his films are equally brilliant.

I never thought that Terry Gilliam could get even more unlucky after what happened in "Lost in La Mancha", but I'm reconsidering after Heath Ledger's death.

girlism 

The idea, intertwined with feminism, that the promotion of "girly" features which have been considered formerly as weak and fragile are actually strong and resilient. These are traits to take pride in. Girlism stands for the strength of being girly, the lack of need to change girly personalities in order to be valid, brave, and feministic.

She exudes a kind of girlism that does not apologize for wearing a dress and instead basks in the effortless confidence being a young woman holds.
