SRM

SRM is an acronym for Stark Raving Mad. It's useful to use when confronted by SRM people, when one wishes to indicate their mental state to a friend, but not let the SRM person know what you are saying.
Eddy was buying shoes from a "nutcase" in a store and wanted to let his girlfriend know what he thought of the salesperson. He wispered to her "SRM," and she immediately knew what he was thinking; even though the salesperson had no idea.

Pareidolia

Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing faces/figures/forms in patterns; as opposed to where one normally sees faces/figures/forms (on animals including people/landscapes etc.)
Pareidolia is seeing what appears to the individual to be a representation of a face, figure, or form in the clouds, wood grain, marble, smoke, shadows, or any non-homogeneous area. It can also be an auditory phenomenon as in hearing white noise or a record played backward that sounds to the individual like words or a melody that isn't actually there.

one hand clapping

The sound of one hand clapping is the sound of one hand closing quickly.
The sound of one hand clapping is supposed to be a question with no answer. It is a clasic Zen koan given to students to aid in enlightenment by leading the mind into a cul-de-sac with no way out but enlightenment. How enlightened could the person who came up with this koan be, considering it has such an obvious and simple answer?

meaningless

A good example of how the standard dictionary definitions are "meaningless," as are all words in them, is the word "meaningless." See the undictionary and meaning, and one will see how there is nothing "meaningless," or any "meaning," in any word including "meaning", except as hints to get us where we need to go. Most people are lost in a sea of belief that words have absolute meaning and have become word fundamentalists. This has led to a world where people fight to the death defending words and ideas that they love. Each object speaks it's own meaning and to call any object meaningless, is belittling. There is no object that one can point to that is "meaningless." "Meaningless," is only a false idea, as are all words.
"Zerbinas mother said her life was meaningless, so she joined the army to kill people she didn't know, or be killed herself to give her life meaning. Her action had no "meaning," nor were they "meaningless." They were beyond words/concepts/ideas including the word beyond. They spoke for themself, interpreted differently by each person who perceived them.

philosophy

Philosophy is really simple. If one has no excess energy one can do nothing. If one has any excess energy one can do one of five things with any external or internal thing.
1. Interact with it in the here and now.
2. Put it aside for potential future interaction.
3. Recycle it.
4. "Dispose" of it.
5. "Ignore it."
This is all there is to anything.
Philosophy is simply anything one can imagine or do, and one can only do one of the above five things.

necessary

Everything in the past, including war was necessary, because it existed. This does not mean to say that it is necessary now or in the future.
People started to realize the basic game center could move to life support instead of death support and it was now necessary to work for only 6 hours per year instead of the current 2,000, to support war mongers.

NOPITA

Eddy was a NOPITA but he was just at a loss to fit into the NOPITA run world.
