Orgy Dome

The sole reason Burning Man exists.

Skybird: Didn't we meet last year at the Orgy Dome at Burning Man? Sunflower: I've never been to the Orgy Dome. Skybird: Neither have I. It must have been two other people.

Binary

A gender preference that can be encoded using a single bit in a computer, where, by convention, 0=Male and 1=Female. This standard was established in a truce between the religious conservative camp who believe that men come first and the radical feminist camp who believe men count for nothing

I'm hexadecimal. I don't identify as binary.

Double Word Float

Two single word (or 64 binary digits) capable of expressing numbers as large as 1.7 E 308, which is 1 E 206 times the number of atoms in the known universe. (1.7 E 308 means 1.7 times 10 raised to the 308th power.)

Why did the system crash? After we got sued for coding gender as binary we decided to use double word floats instead. That worked in beta test in New York but when we brought California on-line the whole thing crashed.

subroutine

Anything a sub does for a dom on a routine basis without needing to be told.

We're headed for divorce. This is the third time in two years that I've come home and you haven't cleaned the house, cooked dinner and greeted me at the door on all fours. You know it's part of your subroutine.

fuckcard

/fək kahrd/

Noun.

1. A calling card for anyone whose business primarily involves fucking others, e.g. prostitutes, politicians, lawyers, etc.
2. A card from any card game designed to fuck with your head or empty your wallet.

That game might have 15% black cards and 85% white cards but they are 100% fuckcards. I'd tell you the name of the game but the fucktards that run the company had their dipshit lawyers send me a C&D letter so I can't. If you need the name of the lawyer I'm sure I have her fuckcard around here somewhere.

Gnnosh

To eat ridiculously expensive trendy snacks with no nutritional value that look like they taste bad but are actually delicious (albeit just as unhealthy as breaded Twinkies deep fried in lard). Practiced mostly by the wealthy, highly paid Unix programmers and college students burning through student loans.

Gnnosh is a recursive acronym for: “Gnnosh's Not Nosh.”

My student loan came through so for $18 I'll upgrade the fries and gnnosh on the deep fried Peruvian Rain Forest Yucca Chips with Pink Hawaiian Sea Salt.

Reductio ad Absurdum

A process of making something stupid because that is what Google says it is.

For Example: If you put “Reductio ad Absurdum” into Google Translate it detects the language as Latin, and translates it to English as: “Reductio ad Absurdum.”

Another Example: For years (through May 29, 2018 at least) if you ask Google "What does it mean to be an American?" it responds with this as the first answer (in a box even):

"It means that I can say "The Pledge of Allegiance" and that I can vote for the President, my county clerk, and the Mayor. But to me it means most of all to be free and to be proud that I live in the United States of America here in Wisconsin."

Dig deeper and you'll find it is written by an 10-year-old who, in addition to thinking that the U. S. is in Wisconsin, does not know that to be an American means she is free to NOT say the pledge and that she has 10 years to go before she can vote.

Thank you Google for establishing a 10-year-old as the #1 expert on what it means to be a patriot. Way to go.

If we're going to Make America Great Again we've got to stop all this Reductio ad Absurdum going on.
