Ellipsis

Also called a "rolling period", an ellipsis is when a woman has three consecutive periods across 3 consecutive months without breaks. They are commonly known to make life not worth living as they usually involve extensive amounts of pain in the uterus, and more flow than a fresh mixtape.

Lily: Aw fuck i just started my period right after i got off the last one. Its been flowing for 3 months now! Kaitlin: Damn girl seems like you got an ellipsis going on down there. Lily: I need another pad

ellipsis abuse

When someone repeatedly, indeed excessively, uses the ellipsis (...) in written text to give an impression of the flow of spoken conversation. Mostly just looks more artificial; usually indicates poor knowledge of internet etiquette on the part of an older generation. Commonly found by old people trying to communicate on Facebook.

Person 1: *insert humorous Facebook status obviously intended for appreciation by friends* Person 2: *commenting* Hey... how is it going... just checking in... everything's good here... see you later. Person 1: Wow. Not only did you hijack my status for an irrelevant personal conversation, but you employed serious ellipsis abuse. Thanks, dad. Person 2: Don't forget the milk... can you call me when you get here... thanks... see you soon. Ellipsis: THE PAIN!

Schizo ellipsis

A series of dots (...) frequently used in schizoposts, which can help identify such posts. Schizophrenia symptoms include a speech disorder called "looseness of association" that manifests in writing. Schizo ellipses are used by individuals with schizophrenia to link loosely related ideas, convey their thought process while writing, or omit information for an ominous effect. Schizoposts often feature schizo ellipses and other punctuation errors, as the writer believes the reader already understands their point and doesn't need further explanation. Consequently, schizo ellipses end sentences without forming a question or statement, leaving the reader to "form their own conclusion" and wonder about WTF they just read.

"John couldn't help but notice the schizo ellipsis while reading /x/: 'The government is hiding the truth about aliens... I've seen them with my own eyes... but you wouldn't understand... it's all connected, you know... just wait and see...' It left him both curious and confused about the author's true intentions."

ellipsis golfer

An ellipsis golfer is a person who willingly places themself into situations which are simple to solve for them (but may not be so from the perspective of another person) in order to brag about their success. Background (golf): If the tee and the hole in the game of golf are placed at the two focus points of an ellipse respectively, then it does not matter in which direction the golf player hits the ball, as it will always fall right into the hole given sufficient speed.

Look, this dude is telling kids that their homework is a no-brainer. He is such an ellipsis golfer.
