saltpeter

Potassium nitrate (KNO3), a substance used in explosives (usually gunpowder) and fertilizers.

Contrary to popular urban legend, saltpeter has no effect on libido, and too many side effects (high fever, etc.) to be used even if it did.

The army doesn't want to kill our soldiers with saltpeter. They want our enemies to do it.

scatter the riders

Texas slang for telling someone what to do. In other news, Texas really needs to learn English.

When Jimbo left without feeding the horses, Big Paw got ready to scatter the riders.

frankenfoods

Genetically-modified food crops, often including the insertion of genetic material that cannot be found in nature. While we're assured they are safe, little testing goes into making sure this is true.

Many countries and consumers are wising up to the hazards inherent in frankenfoods.

tofu

Very nummy bean curd that can be used a variety of ways. No, it's not really natural. Neither is most of the stuff we eat.

We had peppers and tofu stir-fried in hot sauce for supper.

Mister Wizard

1. An awesome Nickelodeon personality when I was a kid. Did a lot of funky science experiments.

2. An annoying-as-hell old geezer that shows up to every single Ft. Wayne Wizards baseball home game.

1. Wow, did you see what Mister Wizard did with static electricity?

2. Let's hope Mister Wizard gets beaned with a fly ball.
