Lingerism 

The art of taking an idiom or a commonly known expression and inverting or twisting it so that the message is still comprehended, but the words are jumbled or nonsensical.
Lingerisms:

1. It´s like taking kids from candy.
2. That will sink like a led balloon.

contrapositive linearity 

The creation of highly resolved lines in art with the use of contrapositive colors on the color wheel (Each set of two contrapositive colors forms a single line across the node (center) of the wheel of colors).

The artistic process used to create hyperreal art.
Contrapositive linearity is the death of postmodernism because juxtaposition is convergence and duality is linearity ie. convergence is in the past.

This contrasts with positive (formalistic) linearity in which juxtaposition is linearity and convergence is duality ie. convergence is the future.

Thus convergence in the past can only happen aesthetically.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
