Anytwo five elevennis?

A common query in Victor Borge's inflationary language, in which all words with numbers in them have that number "increased" by one. A sentence like "You look wonderful tonight" becomes "You look twoderful threenight". "Anytwo five elevennis?" therefore translates into regular English as "Anyone for tennis?"

When we got to the country club, I was deflnined to see that the golf course was closed until Threesday, five I had really looked fiveward to hitting a hole in two. Luckily, my twoderful friend Knine pointed out that the elevennis court had opened at one o'clock noon. I was so thrilled that I gave her a high six and said "Anytwo five elevennis?"

Ecophobia

The fear of climate change and other environmental phenomena, or more specifically, “the feeing of powerlessness to prevent cataclysmic environmental change”. An ecophobic person is likely to have feelings of great anxiety or helplessness about the future. They are possibly also human fatalists, believing that humanity is bringing about the destruction of itself and the planet and that nothing can be done to prevent it. While many people today are rightfully worried about the effects of human intervention on the earth’s climate, some ecophobic people take an even more pessimistic view, and believe that the extinction of mankind itself is necessary to save the planet. This is a controversial view, and not held by most people who feel anxiety about climate change.

If you feel a general sense of helplessness and fatalism when you contemplate the future in humanity’s struggle against climate change, it may be a sign that you have ecophobia

Rule 99

Hitler’s law

If it exists, Hitler has reacted to it (most likely the Downfall version of Hitler)

See also: Rule 99.9

If he has not yet reacted to it, he will

Videos or gifs of Hitler reacting to memes and pop culture that came into existence over 70 years after the fall of the Third Reich which in any event would have absolutely no relevance to an unhinged tyrant watching his world collapse around him is a perfect example of rule 99

Hitler reacts to the new Call of Duty - textbook rule 99

Bill Clinton Gambit

A defense strategy where one seeks to extricate oneself from a bad situation by claiming to be innocent by (a usually absurd) technicality. Named for former US president Bill Clinton, who popularized this strategy in the 1990s with his creative explanations for how he didn't actually smoke weed because he didn't "inhale", and most infamously, how he didn't technically lie when he said there is no sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky because "it depends on what the definition of "is" is."

Person 1: I just read an article about how Senator Rob Johnson claimed he didn't technically commit a crime by being involved in a plot to replace legitimate Electoral College electors with fraudulent ones in the 2020 election, because he was only involved for "a couple seconds"...

Person 2: A Republican using the Bill Clinton Gambit? Oh the sweet irony.

Anteereyesterday

Three days ago. Formed by the compound of yesterday + ere (1 day before) + ante (1 day before that). Theoretically, this process can be continued to formulate as many days back as you wish by simply adding more ere, ante, or another synonym, such as fore. Compare with:

Anteereyestermorn - three mornings ago
Anteereystereve - three evenings ago
Foreanteereyesterday - four days ago

Ereyesterday - two days ago

Overmorrow - two days from now

Overovermorrow - three days from now

We went out anteereyesterday, and I’ve been on cloud nine ever since.
