The Duringlife (nonfiction)

The Duringlife is a humorous term for life coined by Karl Jones.

Origin

The word duringlife came to Jones while writing a comment on Boing Boing. In a thread about a video apparently showing large spacecraft near the moon, user prius04 asked:

"Could they be dolphins? Has anyone checked to see if our dolphins are all gone?"

Jones replied:

Give me a few minutes while I drop acid and commune with John Lilly (who communes with dolphins in the Afterlife, as during the Duringlife) from within my gravity-free Vantablack sensory deprivation tank.

After that, let’s get high and watched Altered States. With dolphins.
