Pike Wake Turbulence

created by PikeWake

(idea) by PikeWake (3 wk) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Thu May 18 2000 at 15:08:50

A state of mind, usually the result of sleep deprivation and/or a severe hangover. In this state your train of thought derails frequently, giving birth to strange associations and a surreal mode of speach.

The term "Pike Wake Turbulence", was coined in 1999 by a person who felt that reality was like "Feeling a pike swim by your leg in murky lake water: You're not even sure it was there."
