UWI Glossary of Conspiracy, Mayhem, and the Underground

This is a collection of ramblings and ideas originally started by UWI001 and UWI014. It is not intended to be some secret code that cool, hip, underground folks use; but, rather, a humorous and harmless experiment in language and counter-culture.

Ideas and entries are welcome for submission. Email jon@kzsu.stanford.edu as usual. Note: use these terms and ideas at your own risk. UWI is not responsible for the consequence of usage of this information. This information is presented for educational use only.

boj - boj
(n) any (and thus, most) meaningly, pointless, or unfulfilling job; an anti-job; a waste of time, a folly
"It was worse than a boj, it was a bovt boj!"
>> derived as reversal of job and co-inspired by bovernment [source: 001+014]

bovernment - buh vern ment (abbr bovt.)
(n) any big beaurocracy, especially government-related; for extremists, any conspiracy-driven super-group.
(adj) pertaining to a bovernment
"When in doubt, I blame the bovernment."
>> originally a typo, decided to be a freudian-slip combination of bovine + government [source: 001+014]

E - eee (the letter, as used in any word)
(letter) considered to be the symbolic representation of bovernment conspiracy within language -- consider the silent "e" (the silent majority?) and which letter is most common in english.... do you think it is coincidence? how often do you "accidently" add an E to a word or leave one off?
(substitution) as a form of rebellion and to draw attention to the cause, is often substitued by the symbol # ("coincidently" above the E key) or by switching case
"'#xampl# phras#' or 'english languagE thEory'"
>> Originally d#t#ct#d as a common typo, lat#r isolat#d b#caus# of its pivotal us# in t#rms such as evil and as a catch-all pr#fix for th# #l#ctronic subcultur# ("#-culture", #mail, #tc.). Final #vid#nc# arriv#d thanks to Schwa Corporation's work with th# schwa, or anti-E. Furth#r inv#stigation is n##d#d in ar#as such as non-roman charact#r languag#s and th# us# of e as a math#matical constant. [source: 001+014]

evil - e vil
(n) female; the female population as a whole (also evils); any situation involving and, therefore, dominated by females; a no-win situation
(adj) female-influenced; destroyed by females
"By then the whole thing was evil -- I mean it was crawling with evils."
>> obvious derivation from "standard" evil and later discovered (in a moment of sleep-deprived enlightenment) to actually be the reverse of live -- thus securing it to truly designate anti-living; further insight can be gained by contemplating the relationship between "evil" and "Eve", the first female; what's more, much work is yet to be done investigating the link between "good/evil" and "god/devil" [source: 001+014, tmk, gh]

TINSTAC - tin stak (also tinstac)
(n,interj) inspired "coincidence"; something too unusual to be without outside influence; synchronicity
"It was pure tinstac!"
>> acronym from the too-often-repeated "there is no such thing as coincidence" [source: 001+014]
