that excrutiating time of the year when you are forced to spend time with your monster-in-law as well as other assorted relatives that you generally avoid the rest of the year; often accentuated by imbibing too many strong spirits to dull the senses, sometimes resulting in an exchange of ugly words that will require a cool down period, usually until the next helliday
I wished Jason Happy Hellidays, knowing he would be spending time with his wife's family.

Doc Holliday 

The real Doc Holliday (1851-1887) was a Georgia dentist who, after a long process with much history in between, became a badass of the western U.S. Most notably, Doc Holliday was responsible for the death of Tom McLaury and possibly others in the Gunfight "at" the O.K. Corral. He and Wyatt Earp, along with Earp's brothers Virgil and Morgan, engaged in a thirty second gunfight in Tombstone, Arizona on 10/26/1881. Three men, Tom McLaury, Frank McLaury, and Billy Clanton were killed. The Earps and Holliday left alive, but in ensuing events, Morgan Earp was shot dead, leading to a vendetta by Wyatt Earp. He was joined by Holliday and the two have become legends of the west.

Their story was featured in several movies, including:

Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

Holliday died of tuberculosis in Colorado in November, 1887.
Doc Holliday was the most badass gunfighter to ever enter the West.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
