Ad hoc

Ad hoc is a Latin phrase meaning "for this". In English, it generally signifies a solution designed for a specific problem or task, non-generalizable, and not intended to be able to be adapted to other purposes (compare with a priori).

Common examples are ad hoc organizations, committees, and commissions created at the national or international level for a specific task. In other fields, the term could refer, for example, to a military unit created under special circumstances, a tailor-made suit, a handcrafted network protocol, or a purpose-specific equation.

Ad hoc can also mean makeshift solutions, shifting contexts to create new meanings, inadequate planning, or improvised events.

Styling

According to The Chicago Manual of Style, familiar Latin phrases that are listed in Merriam-Webster, such as "ad hoc", should not be italicized.

Ad hoc hypothesis

In science and philosophy, ad hoc means the addition of extraneous hypotheses to a theory to save it from being falsified. Ad hoc hypotheses compensate for anomalies not anticipated by the theory in its unmodified form.

    Ad Hoc (restaurant)

    Ad Hoc is a family-stylecomfort food restaurant in Yountville, California. Opened by Thomas Keller in September 2006, Ad Hoc was meant to serve as a temporary cafe for six months but was retained as a permanent establishment.

    Early years

    Thomas Keller opened Ad Hoc in 2006 to serve as a temporary cafe. His intention was to have Ad Hoc serve as a six-month venture while preparing his new restaurant for the space, which would focus on hamburger and wine pairings. Ad Hoc was opened quickly, with little changes to the decor in the temporary space, and serving a nightly single four-course meal at a flat price. One menu allowed Ad Hoc to limit problems with finding and stocking ingredients, and menus were planned loosely about a week in advance, and finalized 48 hours before. Occasionally the menu would change based on seasonal ingredients or last minute ingredient availabilities.

    In 2006, Keller was interviewed by food critic Michael Bauer from SFGate and was asked if the venture would really be temporary. In response, he stated that he did not know and that if it was to go beyond the six month time period they would need to change the name and "...Maybe we'd call it Ad Lib." Bauer stated that the restaurant would become a permanent establishment, and described it having a "Chez Panisse sensibility."

    by: White Dawg

    [Chorus]
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    I said you heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    [Verse 1: White Dawg]
    Run game, slang cane, Broward playas mane
    Feel my pain, hit a switch come bouncin' mane
    Slow grains, like Dre money fuck fame
    Playing with a pistol while she like into my picture frame
    Lay em down, don't fuck around come with it
    When I hit it, bounce that ass and shake them fucking titties
    Come with it, when I spit it, represent the city
    Sold a rhyme for every dime, call me Frank Nitty
    [Verse 2: Dozia Slim]
    Open up a can of whoop ass on yo bitch ass
    Wanna fuck a thug bitch, give me head and cash
    If the river runs dry ho, listen up
    Call me back when that trick money stacks up
    Got these medals on my chest from this pimp game
    Steady bitchin' brains with these Broward playas mane
    The pimp laws say you don't wanna cross
    And if your contract is canceled bitch, it still ain't no loss
    [Chorus x2]
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    I said you heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    [Bridge x8]
    We be some game runners, just some game runners
    [Verse 3: White Dawg]
    Thug love, nigga got six slugs
    Slang Texas, ain't where them niggas slang drugs
    Popo ain't shit where I come from
    So if you want some, nigga come get some
    Met her at the mall, thirty minutes later in the draws
    Talk shit get slapped in the fucking jaw
    You know I'm holy, stack in the forty
    Some died in the Caddy on some D's that was rolling
    [Verse 4: Dozia Slim]
    Talk shit get split, you heard what I said
    Drop them 'bos on them hoes fuck em then they dead
    Fire it up skraten up, who run shit
    Game runners, ball playas, we run shit
    Bring it on, bring it on, bitch buckle up
    When I'm on this weed, I don't really give a fuck
    In bed, catch head, gon' serve me
    Bust a nut and I'm gone and I know you bitches heard me
    [Chorus x2]
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    I said you heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    You heard what I said (yes sir yes sir!)
    [Bridge x8]
