ANTSCD
Is a selfmade acronym for "And now to something completely different" a phrase which in this meaning was created by MPFC (Monty Python's Flying Circus), of course. There are variants too: ANTS-CD, to allude to our being ants. ANTSNSCD: .. not so completely different. Most others can be guessed easily.

Karass
Yet another important Bokononist concept – a group of people that really work together as opposed to granfalloon, a group of people that believe they work together
Oh a sleeping drunkard up in Central Park
And a lion hunter in the jungle dark
And a Chinese dentist and the British queen
All fit together in the same machine
Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many different people in the same device

Wampeter
A wampeter is the pivot of a karass. No karass is without a wampeter, Bokonon tells us, just as no wheel is without a hub.
Anything can be a wampeter: a tree, a rock, an animal, an idea, a book, a melody, the Holy Grail. Whatever it is, the members of its karass revolve about it in the majestic chaos of a spiral of nebula. the orbits of the members of a karass about their common wampeter are spiritual orbits, naturally. It is souls and not bodies that revolve. As Bokonon invites us to sing:

    Around and around and around we spin,
    with feet of lead and wings of tin.

And wampeters come and wampeters go, Bokonon tells us. At any given time a karass actually has two wampeters - one waxing in importance, one waning.

Cybernetics
A holistic or complex rather than linear system view. A branch of mathematics addressing issues of control, recursiveness, and information.

Gestalt
As used in Gestalt-Theory. A clearly discernible pattern before a background. As in "Gestalt and field" or as in "figure and ground".

BOGU
is an acronym from Robert Scoble's Corporate Blog Manifesto It is derived from "Bend over and grease up" meaning in the words of Mr. Scoble "you should treat Gnome Girl as good as you would treat Dave Winer" or, more prosaically, it's a good marketing idea to be extremely friendly to everybody all the time.
