| 184. | Kernel Dwellers | ||
|
In layman terms, kernel dwellers are the womens which are attributed a score of 0 out of 10 in regard to their appearance. The kernel dweller terms arise from the hotness scale operator H, H:Girl --> {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}. Whenever the operator H acts on a element of the Girl set, say y and Hy=0, then it is said that y belongs to the kernel of H. Therefore Kernel Dwellers are the ones living in the Kernel of H. G1 is a kernel dweller, she belongs in the kernel of H, along with the other Kernel Dwellers.

| 187. | Globocall | ||
|
A telemarketing call conducted by a bank of operators in a (third world) country as an attempt to rival the annoyance of the Robocall but with a personal touch and presumably without adding cost. A good Globocall is characterized by any of the following: severe phoneline static, several seconds of latency, a caller with an essentially incomprehensible accent, and of course a caller that clearly has no idea where you are or what you may be doing at the time of these always inconvenient calls. I'm sure glad we outsourced our super annoying telemarketing campaign. Those Globocallers are much more sympathetic than the machines. Too bad they sound like they are 300 ft under water, or in an elevator, or both.
