When a role playing geek get so emotionally unstable and out of hand that they begin acting in real life as if their role-playing character were controlling them.
Girl: So, would you like to come back to my place?
Boy: Well, I'm gay, but I'm recursive roleplaying a lesbian moogle character and she would totally want to have sex with you, so sure!
A strawman by which you incorrectly characterise your opponent's argument as a strawman.
A: Trump has repeatedly demonstrated racially insensitive behavior
B: "Everyone I disagree with is Hitler."
A: That is a recursive strawman.
An acronym contained within an acronym and which is the same as the original acronym.
GNU is an acronym for "GNU's Not Unix." When the derivative acronym is expanded, the original acronym is repeated indefinitely. (Computer and Information Science)
"Yeah, and then he says to me, 'Did you notice that "GNU" is a recursive parsonym?'" "Like I give a f***." "What a flake."

If you're not sick of it already, see tail recursion.
Putting things that refer to themselves at the end of a document is the leading cause of tail recursion.

The situation wherein a small group of nerds will tend to jump from tangent to tangent because each point gives other people new things they want to talk about.
"Okay, so my wizard will cast color spray on the three guards."
"Man, wizards are so overpowered"
"Wait till I get epic level and can teleport you into orbit of the planet. You can't get down unless you have some ability to fly"
"Wouldn't you just explode from the pressure"
"Actually, as long as you breath out, you can stay alive and conscious for a minute or so. And the people at spaceX have training for when this might happen"
"Man, I'm amazed that a privately funded space organization has gotten so far"
"It's what happens when you get a bunch of nerds together"
"And a lot of money"
"You don't need the money, one of my professors built a submarine with his friends"
"It must have been a pain in the ass to organize"
"Yeah, it's like herding cats, where one of them can weld really well!"
... this infinite nerd recursion can continue indefinitely ...

A concept in which you think about multiple times, and each time you think about it, you think about it in the same steps to reach a conclusion.
A time I experienced recursive chronological-conceptualization, (this was before the Nintendo Switch OLED came out) I thought about ways to improve the shitty stand the Nintendo Switch has, and every time I thought about it, my brain went from a single stand on one side, to two on both sides, to an entire panel across the back and bottom half.
The gene responsible for making some people believe that anything from homosexuality to kleptomania can be tied to a single gene.
He says he's found a gay gene, an anti-social gene, a literary gene and a deep-sea exploration-promoting gene. I guess his psychic-recursive gene is working overtime.
