thinko 

Thinko is a computer science slang term for a mistake in the writing of a program that arises from the temporary disruption of the thought process, typically leading to a bug.

A typical example of a thinko would be the use of an idiom or syntax taken from a computer language other than the one currently being used, or perhaps the simple inversion of a boolean test that reverses the intended meaning.

Swishful Thinking 

When all you can think of is making 3 pointers, or making a basket that is a swish. This is common for poor shooters, who dream of swishes all day, and then celebrate when they finally make one, after multiple misses. This is called Swishful Thinking, as they continue to shoot and shoot, knowing they will finally make one.

Damn, did you see Keith hit that huge 3 after he missed like 6 shots in a row. Yeah dude, he is the king of Swishful Thinking.

Clitful Thinking 

A pun on "wishful thinking," it's when a woman lets her own sexual interest in someone strongly color her judgement regarding the person's reciprocal interest in her. It makes her interpret every gesture from her object of interest as a come on, even when it clearly isn't. This is known as dickful thinking if it's a man.

Her: "So my one night stand from 3 weeks ago hasn't called me, even though I gave him my number and my email. He didn't give me his real name or contact info, but he mentioned he was a professor, so I looked through the online faculty profiles of every university in 100 miles, and found his picture. I think he'd like to see me again but just lost my contact info. Should I email him at the work address I found on the faculty website, or just show up and surprise him after one of his classes? I think he'd like being surprised like that."

Friend: "No he wouldn't. That's a bunch of clitful thinking there - let it go."

Her: "Suzy hugged me last week, so she's definitely into me. Her husband isn't at the party, so I think I should try and make out with her."

Friend: "That's clitful thinking. She's not hitting on you."

Him: "So the new hot intern says 'good morning' to me when she comes in to work, and once commented on my desk picture of my kids - said they were cute. She's totally into me. I'm gonna try and hook up with her at the office party."

Friend: "I get that it's been tough for your after the divorce, but that's just dickful thinking. She's not into you, now stop before you get an HR complaint."

OR

Him: "Pete high-fived me at the trivia night - I'll bet he's secretly gay and would let me blow him."

Friend: "You have no gaydar and a bad case of dickful thinking. The boy's straight."

I think we can rule out a…

I think we can rule out a… — an endlessly productive word formula designed to explain the gravity of a situation through a poetically oppositional comparison.

How to use “ I think we can rule out a…” as a word formula:

1) Undercover surveillance team observing a cross burning at a Neo-Nazi rally on the February 24 and 25th 2023 day of Hatred:

Well, I guess we can rule out this as being a Bar Mitzvah.

2) A hotel worker in New Orleans brings towels to the orgy room at a swingers convention:

Well, I think we can rule out finding Gandhi in that room.

3) A pork barbecue food truck vendor dives by a park were a vegan gathering of THE RAINBOW TRIBE is being held:

I think we can rule out finding anyone in that park who wants a good carne asada.
