observation period 

The period of time when you’re casually fucking a guy you used to date, and you’re assessing whether or not he has the emotional capacity to potentially be in a relationship with again, and if you even want to try to be anything other than friends who have great sex rock out and celebrate life a couple times a month. Also, it’s so much fucking fun and you don’t want that to stop or change so it’s an excellent way to maximize the fun, to stretch out the observation period. This amount of time is unspecified. Most likely lasts as long as it takes for one of the parties involved to freak out.

Michael, I didn’t say I wanted you to be my boyfriend?! This is still the observation period, I’m observing you, and you are observing me too, really.

Observational Humor

A skit on the Tom Green Show.

Tom Green observes people on the streets, and yells at them from up close with a megaphone, pointing out what they are doing.

This often startles and/or frightens people.

Tom Green's observational humor:
"You are walking down the street!"
"You are drinking juice!"
"You are wearing a yellow hat!"

observational humor

The ability to laugh rather than weep upon seeing one's accurate reflection.

Paul awoke the morning of his 60th birthday and examined his face closely in the mirror. Laughing wryly at the sight, he vowed never to perform that act again. Observational humor, in this case, only went so far.

initial observation 

An initial observation is the measurement that you take before you start any process that might cause a change. When you compare your subsequent observations with the initial one, you will see whether any change has taken place, and you will be able to measure the change.
