wonderstanding

A combination of the words "wonder" and "understanding," where "wonder" signifies both reverence and curiosity.

1) The feeling people have after learning something amazing - describing not only a recognition of the beauty of something (such as the world), but the feeling of increased awe experienced after understanding the true complexity of it.

2) The combination of: "an artist's wonder at the virtuosity of nature with a scientist's understanding of how it comes to be." - author Matt Ridley (describing Richard Dawkins's "The Greatest Show on Earth").

Similar to "nerdvana."

Amanda: "That Symphony of Science vid was awesome! It really conveyed a sense of wonderstanding of the way the universe works."

Stephen: "Yes, you appeared to be in a state of considerable nerdvana."

Side Quest

Any period of time where you and your friends go out without initial purpose or expectations. Usually in the early hours of the morning or late at night, side quests last as long as everyone is still out away from their home, dorm, or common meeting space. Side quests usually happen after a "main quest," scheduled hang out or party and usually feature less people than the original main quest.

"I'm bored but idk what to do... wanna just go out?"
"Hell yeah man let's go on a side quest!"

Collective 600 pound gorilla

A group of people that rolls 600 pounds deep, which is really no different than if one person acted like the 600 pound gorilla all by themself, it's just bullying spread around a group to fuck with somebody. Just like each person has an asshole, and to some degree is an asshole, a collective 600 pound gorilla has a collective asshole so that no one person has to take responsibility for being the asshole or the one who said this or that.

The collective 600 pound gorilla was punching its chest, showing who the alphas were.
