Olive989's definitions
In general, intuition means knowledge you have, that you are not consciously aware of. (It does not mean "feeling" or emotion.)
Most of the data your brain processes from your environment, is unconscious. But to be "intuitive" is to tap into this unconscious data particularly well.
Intuition can take several forms:
(1.) Intuition as flight/flight/instinct-
This is when your brain picks up on subtle environmental cues and rings an alarm bell like a lightning bolt of clarity, that something is about to go seriously wrong. It could be a person's micro-expressions or body language, a change to a structure or physical object, a combination of sounds...Or any number of things. But whatever it is, your unconscious mind recognizes it and is trying to save your ass.
(2.) Intuition as any kind of knowledge you have, you aren't consciously aware of.
A really intuitive person, could potentially watch a Kung Fu movie. Forget about it. Get in a fight. And only then realize they remembered a lot of the moves.
Another example would be hearing the show Jeopardy play in the background, because someone else is watching it. Maybe their mind is on their laundry and they're not really paying attention to the show. Nothing registers at the time. But a couple weeks later at college trivia night, they realize they have all these answers to random historical facts they didn't have before.

Get the Intuitionmug. (1.) The false idea that negative elements of life need to be edited or denied, for someone to be happy, successful, or even just okay. Instead of just accepting that life is full of everything: the wonderful, the terrible and everything in between.
(2.) A toxic leftover from a multi-billion dollar self- help industry.
(3.) The kind of willful ignorance and denial that inspired idioms such as, "Ostrich with its head in the sand" and "Elephant in the Room". A mental rationalization for ignoring or downplaying problems....instead of accurately assessing and fixing them.
(4.) Malignant hope for people and situations that are never going to change.
(5.) A favorite excuse/justification for those who emotionally police and manipulate others.

If you have to construct "positivity" out of the ether, and put it in places it clearly doesn't belong....it's probably bullshit. What's "positive" about lying to yourself?

Get the Positivitymug. (1.) A script in our heads that directs how we see ourselves, and in turn, how we perceive and interact with our world.
Everyone has a memory and an environment, but how we make sense of our experiences, and react to them, is unique. That's our story. That's our personal script.
(2.) A description of how something happened (or evolved), based on a particular point of view. This context includes biographies and major historical events, but also interpersonal accounts of every day events.
(I.E. "You'll never guess who I saw at the grocery store today Sara."...)
(3.) Fictional Writing that serves as a source of entertainment. And (many times) uses that entertainment wrapping, to speak truths in a more palatable way.
One example:
-The way Charles Dickens used the guise of entertainment to make English society care about the plight of children, (even among the wealthy elite, who wouldn't be caught dead reading a book on child labor, abuse or neglect.)
Charles Dickens Novels succeeded where impersonal statistics and pamphlet propaganda could not. Because he entertained people with his stories, didn't tell them what to think, and created tangible characters readers felt they knew and wanted to root for. This is how he made the plight of abused orphans and child factory workers compelling enough, people wanted to make it their problem.

Another example:
- The way Science Fiction shows in the U.S. (like the Twilight Zone) were able to broach political topics on TV, no one else could get away with at the time, thanks to some insane censorship laws....and no one taking fictional stories seriously. (Cold War Era).
If you want to open closed minds, avoid censorship, or speak truth to an oppressive government, hide your message in a fictional story.

Get the Storymug. (1.) An asinine term said by fucked up authority figures, who think age should trump critical thinking, common sense, honest dialogue, or any sense of reasonableness.
There's a reason no adult accuses another adult of "talking back". It's as stupid as accusing a bird of chirping. If an adult wants to tell another adult they're being disrespectful, they use the term, "talking smack."
"Talking back" in contrast, is just the natural response anyone should expect, when they direct their words at another person. If someone does not wish to have a response to the things they are saying, furniture, inanimate objects, and non-human animals are available.
(2.) An adult example of regression, in which age is used as an excuse to not give an adult response, and instead basically tell someone to shut up.

Person A: Stop talking back to me sunny boy!
Person B: Okay. Your wish is my command. *executes 6 month vow of silence*

Get the Talking Backmug. Face sitting/riding that is particularly eager, aggressive, or enthusiastic in such a way it parallels waterboarding.
Can refer to either purposeful smothering through out (like a dom/sub context), or a girl having an orgasm so explosive she loses control and unintentionally smothers her boyfriend/girlfriend's face during the lead up to and duration of the orgasm.
The "water" from the waterboarding reference can be either a really wet, creaming pussy, or a girl squirting.

I feel so bad I Guantanamo Bae 'd my boyfriend's face. I just couldn't control it. They say the heart wants what it wants. But damn. I guess the pussy does too.

Get the Guantanamo Baemug. (1.) When sex is like a religious experience. The feeling is so powerful and all pervading, you have no choice but to be present. And yet you also find yourself in a state of awe, beyond all the limits of your own body and mind. Time appears to stand still and yet it moves so quickly as your body automatically does what it needs to do, without thought, pretense, or any opportunity for self-consciousness.
Just as people often go to the house of a particular religion to find God...."Take me to Church" in the context of sex, involves a physical build up so intense, the orgasms could be described as a kind of "seeing God".
(2.) To crave or hunger for someone so much, you know being with them would be a religious experience.
(Hell, if you really want to extend the religious symbolism, think of the way a supposedly demon possessed person is taken to church, "laid hands on", convulses and shakes, and then appears to be "set free" with a peaceful look on their face. The parallels between this and really great sex are obvious.)

(1.) O God....He really knows how to take me to church.
(2.) I've never wanted someone to take me to church so bad in my life. I wonder if there's still seating available. The aisle closest to his lap would be preferable.

Get the Take me to Churchmug. Similar to sleep apnea accept the source of you not being able to breathe/waking up... is your cat parking their butt on your face.
Apparently it's a really comfortable napping position.
Apparently it's a really comfortable napping position.
I woke up gasping for air, thinking my sleep apnea was acting up again. But no. It was just Garfield's vibrating butt on my face, purring. I'm calling it catnapnea.
