Glossary of unhelpful terms

I am compiling a list of terminology for the inconvenience of serious students. Your additions are most welcome.

Gormless Attainment: transcendence of the sphere of cogent reasoning.

Pretaphor: figure of speech in which a descriptive term is transferred to a different but analogous object in a ghostly, usually frightening, manner.

Dakini Beach: (1964) Tibetan comedy. Teenagers speculate that sun-tanning may be hastened and health benefits attained by exposure to artificial enlightenment.
