Reverse reverse psychology 

Basically just plain ol' psychology. Reverse reverse psychology only exists when the other person assumes that you are doing reverse psychology on them (when you are not).

Sgt McDonut: "I wouldn't press the button that says 'eject' if I were you."

Pvt Cummings: "I know you're just reverse psychology'ing me, so I won't."

Sgt McDonut: "And that's exactly what I wanted you to do. The button was to eject me out of the plane, not you. Thankfully I factored in the possibility that you would think I'm doing reverse psychology. And even if I was unaware of your mental gymnastics, your reverse psychology guess would've screwed you anyway because the eject button for your seat was in my hands all this time. Get reverse reverse psychology 'd son."

clerical psychologist 

A term that darkly mocks what clinical psychology has become in this data-heavy, lawsuit-driven world which often values documentation of treatment more than the treatment itself.

I feel like I should be called a “clerical psychologist” because the time needed to appropriately document the clinical contact, required by the state, can eat up the entire hour, leaving me with no time to interact with the patient!

Psychological Video 

The opposite of a realistic ghost video.

Popular in the early 2000s, they usually contained more obvious editing and special effects than regular Ghost videos, which were supposed to be taken seriously.

Guy #1: Omg this video is so creepy, I would've moved out of that house if I were them!

Guy #2: That's not a ghost, it just a Psychological Video.
Guy #1: Well then nice editing. I guess I'm gonna have nightmares now.
