Glossary of Terms Related to R-CIS

  
ARSE: 

(Another Really Stupid Exam); the two versions are used alternatively to screen and to diagnose R-CIS

Big ARSE:

The official test instrument designed to diagnose R-CIS; it is normed using a cross-section of the population and is statistically sound in terms of both reliability and validity

Cranial:

Related to the skull

Cranial Rectalitis: 

(CRI) a milder form of Recto-Cranial Inversion Syndrome.  CRI is also a common syndrome, which can strike all people of all nationalities. The syndrome is similar to R-CIS in both effects and symptoms, however it is a temporary condition if diagnosed and treated early.  Patients with CRI are usually cured within a timeframe of a few hours to a few weeks.  Aftereffects of CRI tend to be mild, if any occur.

Inversion: 

a. the process or result of a reversal of position; 

b. the condition of being turned inward

Little ARSE:

The official screening instrument utilized by trained personnel to screen for the possibility of R-CIS; failure to pass this screening automatically calls for, among other evaluation procedures, the application of the Big ARSE; also known as the R-CIS Risk Test; also known as the Abhorrent Behavior Checklist (ABC); also known as the Big Underachieving Thought Troll Exam (BUTT Exam), or in its revised version, the Big Underachieving Thought Troll Exam -Revised (BUTT-R Exam)

Recto: 

Related to the terminal part of the colon

Recto-Cranial Inversion Syndrome: 

This syndrome is characterized by the abnormal proximity of the cranial cavity to the terminal part of the intestine. The resulting inversion adversely affects the following senses: sight, hearing, smell, and taste, as sensory input is severely limited.  Once past the initial stages, verbal output is no longer connected to sensory input. The resulting abnormality is quite evident as rectocephalic disfigurement (rcd) of varying degrees.  The severity of such disfigurement is directly proportional to the duration of the syndrome, while frequency of attacks is statistically significant.

Rectocephalic Disfigurement

(RCD); an abnormality of varying degrees resulting from the onset of R-CIS; the severity of RCD is directly proportional to the duration of the syndrome; the frequency of RCD attacks is statistically significant.

Syndrome: 

A group of signs and symptoms that occur together and characterize a particular abnormality
