Daedalus Suburbanus's definitions
A diet that one begins after New Year's Day. A person can either go on a New Year's diet as part of a New Year's resolution to eat healthier and/or lose weight, or simply for the purpose of losing a few holiday pounds. New Year's diets generally work best when combined with frequent, intense exercise.
I've probably gained five to ten pounds since Thanksgiving, so tomorrrow I'll be starting my New Year's diet. That means zero meat until February, as little junk food as possible, and medium-sized portions only. I also plan on hitting the gym at least three times a week.

Get the New Year's diet mug.One of many euphemistic terms for a penis. Most famously used in this context in the Big Bang Theory episode, "The Boyfriend Complexity." In that episode, Howard and Raj accidentally kissed each other in the control room for a telescope. The next day, when Leonard casually asked Howard and Raj what had happened, both of them freaked out, even though Leonard hadn't heard about the kiss.
(FROM THE BIG BANG THEORY)
*Sheldon and Leonard are at the table in the cafeteria. Raj joins them.*
LEONARD: Oh, how'd it go last night?
RAJ: Oh, you know, same old same old. Looked through a telescope, saw some stars, big move.
LEONARD: Really? You waited months for a time with that telescope. What happened?
RAJ: Why? You writing a book?
SHELDON: I'm going to propose a hypothesis. Last night, Raj accidentally made contact with an alien civilization, and has been ordered by the United States government to keep it a secret.
RAJ: Nothing happened! Can we please just change the subject?!
SHELDON: That sounds rehearsed. We are not alone.
*Howard walks over to the table.*
HOWARD: Hey.
LEONARD: Hey.
SHELDON: Hello.
HOWARD: Hey.
RAJ: Hey.
LEONARD: You get to play with Raj's big telescope last night?
*Howard and Raj both react with shock.*
HOWARD: Where'd that come from?!
RAJ: He never touched my telescope!!
HOWARD: Way to go shutting up!
RAJ: I did shut up, now you shut up!
HOWARD: Fine!
RAJ: Thank you!
RAJ: I can't believe you didn't call me this morning.

Get the zeg mug.An item that is normally worn at sporting events to show support for a team; but as Miley Cyrus has demonstrated, it can also be used to touch yourself or someone else sexually.
Miley Cyrus showed the world a whole new use for a foam finger at the 2013 MTV Music Video Awards by touching Robin Thicke's crotch and then her own with it. Now people are never going to look at foam fingers the same way again.

Get the foam finger mug.A term that collectively refers to all the TV shows featuring Gordon Ramsay. That includes Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, The F Word, MasterChef, and Hotel Hell. All of them feature Gordon Ramsay being Gordon Ramsay. He's one of the best chefs in the world and has extremely high standards. When he encounters stupidity or bad food, he bluntly — if not furiously — calls it out, and he's perfectly willing to make a scene in the process. In America, Ramsey World is on the air almost year-round: at least one show will be on at any time; and when one of the shows featuring Ramsey goes on hiatus, the new season of one of the other series will premiere within a couple of weeks at most.
Right now, Hell's Kitchen is about halfway through the season. Kitchen Nightmares just ended, the new season of MasterChef is about to start, and there'll be a new season of Hotel Hell at some point; so Ramsay World is going to be on for at least several more months.

Get the Ramsay World mug.A hilarious sitcom starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
The show was about a middle-aged divorced woman named Christine Campbell. She is known as "Old Christine" because her ex-husband Richard's new girlfriend also happens to be named Christine (she is known as "New Christine" because of this). Old Christine lives with her son Richie and her younger brother Matthew. She owns a gym with her best friend Barb. She sends her son Ritchie to a fancy private school and frequently has to deal with the school's two "Meanie Moms" (two rich, blonde, queen-bee moms who always look down on Old Christine).
Old Christine is extremely dumb. For example, she prides herself in being politically active, but her idea of political activism is voting on American Idol. Similarly, she often forgets basic information about herself, such as her age. Richard and New Christine are usually more intelligent than her, but both of them have their moments of stupidity too. Barb and Matthew are usually the voices of reason, but even they have issues.
At first, the show was great. It received nine Emmy nominations and won an Emmy in its first season. By the fifth season, however, the show had degenerated, so it was cancelled.

It's too bad The New Adventures of Old Christine got cancelled. It was really good up until season 5.

Get the The New Adventures of Old Christine mug.A fraction that you might have to deal with when doing a college-level homework problem. It doesn't necessarily have to contain X or any other variable, but it does have to have to be a numerator-denominator combination that you would not normally see in everyday life. The reason the number is written as a fraction is because writing it as a decimal would require imprecise rounding off and/or because it must be added, subtracted, or multiplied with a similar fraction.
Okay, so we just got through establishing that:
(61/99)X = (8/49) + (56/22)Y + (45/38) - (1/36)Y{(14/45) - (31/29)Y} - (2/7)X + (1/18)XX
can be simplified as:
(625/693)X = (2509/1862) + (1/18)XX + (22603/8910)Y + (31/1044)YY
which can be further simplified as:
X = (1738737/1163750) + (77/1250)XX + (1740431/618750)Y + (2387/72500)YY
*loud sigh* There!! Now that we're done with that headache, I don't want to see another exotic fraction for the rest of the day!
