dissonance
That sudden feeling of 'ick' when you take a sip of tea but you thought it was going to be Coke. It's not that you dislike tea you just thought it would be Coke.
Example:
Bill: How was your date?
Bixby: I thought only blondes were that ditzy.
Bill: Fight Dissonance, man! It messes with all of us.


dissonant
discordant or a harsh and inharmonious sound

A dis-harmonic note of music that sounds awkward
Example:
i.e. the dissonant sound you make when you find out
gas prices are going up even higher at an alarming
rate! O.o %#@X! Jezz@%XSus!!


vaginal dissonance
(n) - An unstable combination of women that increases ambient bitchiness. This can occur when the natural vibrating frequencies emitted from one woman's vagina interfere with those of another, causing an unappealing positive feedback (aka vagitation) that attenuates the mood of all women contributing to the dissonance. The intensity of vaginal dissonance is directly proportional to 1) the average distance between each vagina, and 2) the average amplitude of emitted vaginal frequencies, which can vary dramatically between women. It is believed that most documented cases of PMS are actually mistaken episodes of vaginal dissonance.
Example:
Bob: "Dude, do not go in that room right now."
Paul: "Why?"
Bob: "Because my sister and her mother-in-law are both in there, and the vaginal dissonance is extreme."
Paul: "Damn...would you like to get a taco or something?"
Bob: "Would I!"


ludonarrative dissonance
What happens when the narrative (story) of a game conflicts with the mechanics (stuff the player does.)
Example:
"The cutscene says my character is sensitive and kind... but I just blew off 6 innocent people's heads for the lulz and the game was totally cool with that. There's some serious ludonarrative dissonance going on here."


cocknative dissonance
When your mind tells you to avoid someone but your dick tells you to go for it.
Example:
Last night I had serious cocknative dissonance, I was talking to this really hot chick who seemed into me, but then she told me that she blew a trucker for a ride once, but I still wanted to hook up with her.


cognitive dissonance
An example of somebody displaying cognitively dissonant behaviour would be a situation where the persons views, values, beliefs etc are contradicted or opposed by one or other persons causing them mental (psychological) stress. At this point a state of cognition is triggered effectively causing them to refute, reject &/or miss-perceive the contradictory views, values or beliefs.
Example:
"smoking will most likely cause you to have cancer you know?"

"hmmm I'm not so sure I know people who have smoked all their lives and they're fine, plus I enjoy it anyway.." this is cognitive dissonance


Scavonian Dissonance
A description for when the text (or writer) of a story actively asserts facts of character or circumstance that are, in actuality, false to majority of audience members.
Derived from: Character - Tom Scavo (Desperate Housewives)
Example:
"I'm really confused by this tv show" - "Why" - "We're supposed to believe he's a nice guy but he's treating his wife like shit. The scavonian dissonance is giving me a migraine!"


cognitive dissonance
A condition of conflict or anxiety resulting from inconsistency between one's beliefs and one's actions, such as opposing the slaughter of animals and eating meat.
Example:
This child is going through a state of cognitive dissonance as he imitates his hero while physically beating his friends.
