mathwashing

The act of using mathematical models, statistical analyses and data-centric approaches that are used to justify bullshit policies and terrible strategies. Mathwashing can occur in any stage of the analysis — it can be using the wrong kind of data, using the wrong kind of model, or even making the wrong kind of conclusions from the results provided. Whatever the cause, the results are the same — it uses the sanctity and the so-called objectivity of “math”, “data”, and “science” to justify policies and strategies with destructive, tragic and far-ranging effects.

Telling me that John McAfee said that Bitcoin's mathematics make financial bubbles impossible is mathwashing, George — the mathematical guarantees that the blockchain algorithm only guarantee that the whole damn thing works as a tamper-evident repository of data, not that fraud and asset bubbles are fundamentally impossible. Now, get your head out of your ass, and tell me how much of our life savings did you invest in the damn thing.

Mouthwashing

To avoid taking responsibility for one's actions, often stemming from delusion—but occasionally driven by deliberate evasion.

The term originates from the indie game 'MOUTHWASHING', created by the indie company 'Wrong Organ', where one of the characters consistently avoided taking responsibility for their mistakes.

E.g.
"You should stop Mouthwashing and admit to your mistakes already."
"Mouthwashing!" (Exclaimed when witnessing someone dodge accountability.)
"I don't like name, they're always Mouthwashing."

Mouthwashing

The act of ignoring or playing down the severity of a situation, specifically in relation to abuse of people or abuse of power.

The term comes from indie horror game of the same name in which all of the events that occur are a direct result of inaction when abuse comes to light.

Mouthwash, as a product, is inherently useless when used by itself, as it is only capable of temporarily masking the smell of poor oral hygiene and not maintaining proper hygiene or fixing the cause of the smell.

Jimmy wouldn't do that, he's my friend! He's never been violent towards me!
Dude, just because a guy is your friend doesn't make him a good guy. You don't know what he does when he's not with you.

Come on, maybe she's lying to get sympathy.

Dude, do you hear yourself? You're mouthwashing right now...
I'm not I just...
Really gets rid of that bad taste, huh?
