Technicality Whore 

An individual who justifies their sexual impropriety though claiming each act of sexual misconduct was legitimate due to specific circumstances. The technicality whore is thus able to make excuses after each sexual act to avoid guilt. The technicality whore is usually in a relationship, but may also be single and using technicalities to avoid damaging the clean perception they have of themselves.

Technicality whores will often use phrases like:
"It wasn't cheating because..."
"I am not a whore because..."
"It's not sex if..."

Common technicality whore technicalities include:
1. Blow jobs are not sex and therefore not cheating.
2. Sex doesn't count as cheating if you don't love the person you are cheating with.
3. Sex isn't sex if you don't sleep in bed together.
4. Sex isn't sex if all the clothes don't come off.
5. Sex isn't sex if there is no kissing.
...and so on.
Bill Clinton is the world's most famous technicality whore. He claimed he "did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." He was using the classic blow jobs aren't sex pattern that has been used by technicality whores since time immemorial.

Other examples:
"I just got banged by the basketball team but I am not a whore because there was no kissing."

"I had sex with my ex-boyfriend and my current boyfriend doesn't know. But it's ok because I love them both."

A virgin girl who takes it in the ass only says: "I am still a virgin and am saving myself for the one I love"

Technicality Asshole (a.k.a., T.A.) 

A person who spews esoteric and inane factoids (a la Cliff Claven) during a spirited game of Trivial Pursuit or the like. A behavior exhibited much to the dismay of the rest of the players who all suffer from short attention span.
Erik, you are being a T.A. It is possible that Eli Whitney who invented the cotton gin didn't drink gin.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
