Collim

Saying a terrible idea that makes no sense, but yet it makes perfect sense to you. Before you actually shared this idea with another person, you thought you were a genius, but it turns out you're still a moron.

You: "I'm about to collim"
Person: "Dude, it's like midnight, please don't do this again"
You: "Okay, so like... you know how corpses can be used as fertilizer? What if that corpse fertilizer was used on plants for people to eat. So, a woman eats the plants that used the corpse fertilizer, so she now has the DNA of that human in her. Then, if she has a baby, that might also have the DNA of that human, which could possibly leave traces of a past life's memory. That could explain how reincarnation could possibly exist."
Person: "Go to sleep."

Collimating lens

A lens which focuses light rays from a source into parallel paths, thus focusing the image relayed at infinity. Highly useful in Head-Up-Display systems, for obvious reasons.

This will be the 2nd in my series of largely useless technical jargon, which will continue as it is more fun writing this than writing a report on the performance and aerodynamics of an MAV.

-For more amusing and less contrived definitions, look up my ones for France or Europe. They're OK.
