Physics Harnessing

The grand, all-encompassing ambition of making the entire discipline of physics your personal toolkit. It's the applied version of knowing how the universe works and then bending every branch—classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, relativity, quantum theory—to your will. This is the foundation for any civilization that moves past simple chemical rockets and fossil fuels. It's the difference between being a passenger in a universe of forces and being the conductor of the cosmic orchestra.

Example: "Building a warp drive isn't just an engineering problem; it's the final exam in physics harnessing. You need to unify gravity (GR) with the small stuff (QM), manipulate spacetime metrics, and contain exotic energies without destroying yourself. It's not a machine; it's a doctoral thesis that moves."

Laws of Physics Harnessing

The ultimate power move: treating the fundamental rules of reality—gravity, electromagnetism, the strong & weak nuclear forces—not as constraints, but as tools in your workshop. This is engineering on a cosmic scale, using gravity as a tractor beam, the strong force for unbreakable bonds in materials, or the weak force for catalyzed nuclear processes. It's about moving from simply using physics (like a lever) to actively orchestrating it, directing fundamental interactions to achieve effects that look like magic to anyone who doesn't have the universal cheat codes.

Example: "Their defense grid doesn't shoot missiles; it uses laws of physics harnessing. It projects a localized increase in the strong nuclear force, making the air in front of incoming projectiles as dense as a neutron star, stopping them dead without a sound or explosion."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

Stink lines

As seen in illustrations or cartoons: Wavy, vertical lines rising above a person, place or thing. Denotes a foul odor.

"You didn't put enough stink lines on your picture of the teacher."

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

eye bleach 

Looking or experiencing something nice after witnessing something horrid like a disgusting gif or a disturbing video. Typically used as eye bleach are nice images of whatever makes the disturbed person happy.

"Bleach my eyes! Why is that woman's face ripped off!?"
*Looks up images of puppies and kittens.*
"That's good eye bleach."

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
