Classified

Definition

Information deemed too sensitive for public knowledge. The word that makes anything sound 10,000% more interesting regardless of actual content. A sandwich recipe could become fascinating if you stamp 'CLASSIFIED' on it.

Example Usage

"I asked what was for lunch in the mess hall and the cook said it was classified. Either it's a national security matter or he genuinely doesn't know what's in the mystery meat."

pentagon

A five-sided polygon that geometry teachers love and students tolerate, but more importantly, the nickname for the massive five-sided building that houses the U.S. Department of Defense. When someone says "the Pentagon decided," they mean the military brass made a call, not that a geometric shape achieved sentience. It's the ultimate example of form following function, or maybe just a really committed geometry flex.
