incrementalism 

The slippery slope that often causes generally principled people to slide into unethical behavior.
Although we have all come to understand that the Fraudster in Chief has no internal ethics compass to begin with, it seems more likely that many of the lifelong public servants who wound up in his thugsphere fell victim to what philosopher Jonathan Glover describes as the following process: “Incrementalism is how we slide into participation by imperceptible degrees so there is never the sense of a frontier being crossed.”

Incrementalism 

The philosphy of acheiving great things in a series of many small steps.
There have been many incrementalist designers who have taken years to perfect their visions.

incrementation 

the term for "increment" after 6 months of consecutively getting crunk 3-4 days out of the week. Incrementation is the product of learning more complex words while losing your brain's natural ability to pronounce them do to alcohol and drugs. It is synonymous with signification, examinaplicability, groundification, multiplicability-ness, and using words like atbrosphere and ill nanas in an environmental science research paper.
John, tell me the incrementation on the graduated cylinder, I really want to bust a nut on this lab report.

The incrementation on the posterior node imparts a subtle irregularity with modern geological constructs, and the overall validity of paleontology as a well-founded institution!

inclement weather 

"Inclement weather" means unpleasant weather, which is stormy, rainy, or snowy weather. However, the phrase inclimate weather often is mistakenly used when the speaker really means "inclement" weather.
Amos: This is the coldest summer we have had on record. We need to do something about anthropogenic climate change.

Ignore Amos: Dude, there ain't no global warming! It's colder than usual this week, and don't you remember that inclimate weather we had this winter? That was cold, too!

Amos: Anthropogenic climate change does not mean just global warming. It also includes unseasonably cooler weather due to the melting of the polar ice caps. Furthermore, cold weather in the winter is not inclimate weather. I think "inclement weather" is what you meant to say.

incremental anal 

Slowly taking it up the ass over a period of time so that you do not feel the effects of an invasion of your personal liberty or of that of your distinct social group.
Wow, that OPD raid sucked. But what do people think. They've let corporate America fuck them up the ass for years for years without saying anything as their individual freedoms were slowly eroded. It's like incremental anal.
