Metathinking is the act of overthinking the concept of overthinking. This also includes any and all advanced layers of thinking, so long as there is more thank one.

Metathinking typically involves a scenario in which the metathinkee can make no difference, such as an impending examination, interview, or relationship quandary.
"Dude, Brandy hasn't texted me in like a month. Do you think it was something I said? Or maybe she found another man. Shit. I don't know. I shouldn't think about it any more. Do you think i am overthinking things? I can't tell. "

"Shut up, and stop metathinking. That only makes things worse."

Another way to say 'i think'. First seen in culture in William Shakespeare's play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', used by the servant Puck (you're impressed). But the worlds nerd subculture became enthralled with the term, when the term was used by Jar-Jar Binks in Star Wars I: Phantom Menace, hallowed be thy name, and is used by NORMAL PEOPLE in conversation. Sometimes used at the end of a sentence, to add an opinion (example 2).
Example 1: Methinks I'm bored.

Example 2: That's a nice arse methinks.
