Autoirontic

When someone is amused at how they're being cleverly ironic, but no one else gets it. Almost always triggered by significant alcohol consumption, when the imbiber becomes convinced they're cross-channeling Socrates and Robin Williams. Some unfortunate souls have been known to suffer from this condition permanently - avoid making eye contact with these people.

As the night of drinking went on, Joe eventually cleared the bar of all his friends but he didn't seem to notice. His autoirontic banter kept him laughing at his 'witty' observations all on his own.

"Do we have to invite Joe to go out drinking with us? Two cocktails and he gets autoirontic, and I'm tired of having to put up him thinking he's being funny and insightful - it's embarrassing"

Huffaloaf

Huffing bread, best done when the bread is freshly baked and still warm. The most common technique is to bag the bread, seal the opening of the bag around the face in the same fashion as a horse's feed bag, and take long slow inhales to enjoy the bready bouquet.

Overhead at San Francisco Airport: "Hey, stop huffaloafing that sourdough, we have a flight to catch!"

Manuretia

To keep doing something stupid, even when you know it's bullshit.

"Cut the crap, you know you're wrong. Repeating it over and over is just manuretia."

"Scholars might refer to it as the 'sunk cost fallacy', but I prefer to call it manuretia."

simulbation

An engineering activity, where a system is simulated using software that encourages repeated iterations of the simulation. The simulation activity is its own reward, and may never result in a completed design.

Hey, are you ever going to finish that project, or are you just going to keep simulbating it? I'm tired of this endless simulbation, just finish the design!
