The reason I can respond to your inane bullshit with a coherent argument expressed succinctly and delivered in but six seconds is because I have pre-thunk thoughts and you are a parrot parroting the parrots on Fox News.

Get the pre-thunk mug.Nomic is an initially boring finite game created in 1982 by the philosopher Peter Suber.
On your turn you roll a die and add its value to your score. The first person to reach 100 wins and the game ends. However, each player can also propose a new rule or a modification of an old one on their turn and if the rule is adopted then the game can morph into something else.

Bob: "Let's play Nomic."
Carol: "Great. I propose the first rule is that we change the name to NotNomic and replace the number 100 in the win state with Infinity. That way we have an infinite game we can enjoy playing forever."
Bob, Carol, Ted, Alice: "Aye."
Ted: "The ayes have it. The rule is adopted. I propose we change the name to NullNomic and change the number in the win state to zero so the game is over before it starts and we don't have to play at all."
Bob, Carol, Ted, Alice: "Aye."
Alice: "The Ayes have it. Boy am I glad that shenanigans is over. Anyone up for a beer?"

Get the Nomic mug.The process of getting between you and an intermediary in the name of getting intermediaries out of the way. Recruiters intermediate by getting in between of employers and job seekers for a fee. Disintermediation of the job market would get the recruiters out of the picture. Interdisintermediation is getting between you and a recruiter in the name of getting recruiters out of the picture.
In theory LinkedIn should help me find my next job directly but nothing happened until I paid them a fee. Then I got flooded with spam from recruiters. Great job at interdisintermediation.

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.

Get the fuckcard mug.Being given a name at birth (or adopting one later) that is not normally associated with the societally recognized gender you were born with (or choose later).

Get the transnamed mug.The repeated patching up of a flimsy argument for a ridiculous proposition made by someone you’d think would be smarter.
Reductape is Latin for the process of repeatedly patching something until all you see is the patch and you can no longer see the thing being patched.
Absurdium is an isotope of Einsteinium (Es, atomic number 99) which when present in the brain of even the hugest genius renders them stupid.

Get the reductape add absurdium mug.An extremely politically correct variant of "person" introduced as an alternative to the use of "perdaughter" to appease women and because "person and/or perdaughter and/or other" is both cumbersome and offensive to the non-binary.
Person A: Honey, the postman just delivered the mail.
Perchild B: Two years ago we were told that the proper term is "postperson" because it was determined that the "postman" is offensive to women. Last year regulators realized that "person" is offencive to daughters so now must use "postperchild" otherwise we won't get any mail.
Person A: May I refer to him as Fred.
Perchild B: No. That is offensive to all people not named Fred.
Person A: But his name is Fred.
Perchild B: That's irrelevant. And, if you ever call me "honey" again I'm going to divorce you.
