" hierarchy "

 [ "hierarchy" ]

1: a system or organization in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authorities

  * e.g.,  ... A pyramid scheme is an example of a hierarchy. In the work place, there is a boss as the head and certain levels of employees under him based on skill level and wage 

 [ "hierarchied" ]

1: (Mostly IT developing usage) Means sorting/filtering/mapping data via some defined hierarchy for such a type of data.

  * e.g.,  ... How should we sort this data ASC or DESC? None of this. There is a certain hierarchy for this data, it should be hierarchied according to it. 

 [ "Hierarchy of Contact" ]

1: In the digital age we all have a multitude of options for communication. It can be inferred that there is a kind of "Contact Hierarchy" and "Contact Continuum" as not all modes hold the same weight with communication ranging from 1-10. Hierarchy of contact in 2010 as defined by this contributor: Face to face

  * e.g.,  ... Hierarchy of Contact refers to how the more important the message or reason to communicate, or the person to communicate with, the higher in the order that communication would be. Conversely, less important is therefore lower. Example, you really need to speak with someone about something serious, you want to face to face with them. If its not serious at all, you might make a posting on their social network wall. At the end of the hierarchy is active blocking, where someone deliberately refuses any mode of contact.

 [ "Hierarchy of Contact" ]

11: 10. Active blocking of contact. Note: Higher order = increased responsiveness. A more serious and/or important matter or message would attract a higher order of communication, with the top order being face to face. There are so many ways to communicate, the options are greater than ever before. But is all modes of communication the same, and attracting the same weight of force? Therefore there is a hierarchy. This may vary per user, but there is a hierarchy.

 [ "Nerd Hierarchy" ]

1: The class system associated with the specific levels of nerd. The lower classes usually worship the higher classes, and ultimately the "highest nerd." The highest nerd is the "coolest" of the nerds in the eyes (behind their glasses of course) of the nerdier nerds.

  * e.g.,  ... Eric is at the TOP of the Nerd Heirchy, yo!  

 [ "Hierarchy of passion" ]

1: Face is more intimate than genitals which is more intimate than hands. Kissing (most passionate)

  * e.g.,  ... Did you guys kiss? 

 [ "Hierarchy of passion" ]

2:  Blowjob

  * e.g.,  ... No, wasn’t ready for that yet. It’s too high on the hierarchy of passion. 

 [ "Hierarchy of passion" ]

3:  Sex

 [ "Hierarchy of passion" ]

4:  Handjob (least passionate)

 [ "Friend Hierarchy" ]

1: When someone has lots of friends, they'll be a hierarchy going from bestie to last resort friend. The higher up you on the hierarchy the more events you'll be invited to secrets you'll be told.

  * e.g.,  ... Jess: Hey did Nat invite you to her birthday party? Brenda: Nope, she told me I'm not high enough on the friend hierarchy. She's only inviting besties and close friends. Brad: Shit did you hear Dan's engaged! 

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

1: The social order in which any high school runs from top to bottom.

  * e.g.,  ... See Cliques, jocks, preps they all deal with School Hierarchy. 

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

2:  Jocks/Preps/Sufer dudes- Made up of the school sports players, cheerleaders, and any Hollister or Abercromie wearing preps.

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

3:  The school clowns- Although they aren't in number ones status they associate with them on a daily basis, and keep the school in constant laughter and fit in with any clique.

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

4:  The Multi-Taskers- These kids run everything from the school paper, to Home coming they're extremely social but run a tight shift. My hats off to them.

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

5:  The Drama crew- These budding Romeos and Juliets spend countless hours acting, singing, dancing and writing allowing contact with other students with similar interest and tend to talk to people with similar interest.

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

6:  The Anime/Goth group- Very closely related to the Drama Crew most still work in that group but after winning their independence they formed they're own group led by Anime loving Gothic kids.

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

7:  Teachers Pets- Almost like the School Multi-Taskers but annoying as hell, and always trying to bring others down.

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

8:  Computer Geeks/Nerds- The imfamous nerds and computer geeks have been at the bottom of the school hierachy since the dawn of time.

 [ "School Hierarchy" ]

9:  Newbies- Although at the bottom there is a 90% chance they wont stay there long' if they talk to the right people they could very well climb to the top in no time.

 [ "Social Hierarchy" ]

1: Astrology for incels.

  * e.g.,  ... Incel 1: “Bro your such a gamma male.” Incel 2: “No I’m not, I’m a sigma male you fucking beta.” Incel 1: “I studied social hierarchy patterns in human behavior, your definitely a gamma.” 

 [ "hierarchy of fail" ]

1: The fail rating system; All fails are bad but some require their own particular term. The heirarchy is as follows:

  * e.g.,  ... Only dumb MFs don't properly apply the hierarchy of fail. 

 [ "hierarchy of fail" ]

2:  Fail - bad but survivable

 [ "hierarchy of fail" ]

3:  Epic Fail - Worst fail most people acheive, should make you at least consider suicide and/or mass killings to hide your shame.

 [ "hierarchy of fail" ]

4:  Jail Fail - Name says it all

 [ "hierarchy of fail" ]

5:  Death Fail - only useable for darwin award nominees

 [ "Borel hierarchy" ]

1: The Borel Hierarchy is a system for objectively deciding which subsets of a Polish space are superior to other ones and must be obeyed. It is defined using transfinite induction, with the base case Σ_1 = { the open sets }, Π_1 = { the closed sets }, and for a countable ordinal α, Σ_α is the collection of sets which are the countable union of sets appearing in Π_β for β < α, and dually, Π_α is the collection of sets which are the countable intersection of sets appearing in Σ_β for β < α. The rank of a set is the index of the first time the set appears in the hierarchy. The lowest rank sets are the open and closed sets, and the highest rank set is the Borel algebra.

  * e.g.,  ... The Borel algebra is the σ-algebra generated by open sets, and it doesn't appear at any countable level of the Borel hierarchy; instead, it exists outside the countable hierarchy, with rank ω_1, the least uncountable ordinal, and it is a superset of all the other sets in the hierarchy.
