exotic fraction

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!

foam finger

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.

turtley

A mispronunciation of "totally".

I'm turtley glad it's Friday.

So in other words you're slowly glad it's Friday?

Oops. I meant I'm TOTALLY glad it's Friday.

weekend syndrome

When you're so burned out by all you've had to do Monday through Friday that you just want to party, watch TV, etcetera the whole weekend and are unwilling to do anything important.

In extreme cases, you might be so tired that you end up wasting the entire weekend by doing things that are not only unproductive, but not even particularly interesting.

JOE: Hey what'd you do this weekend?
STEVE: Saw two movies, partied, did nothing important had fun.
JOE: Well, it was a long week, so I guess weekend syndrome is okay.
BOB: I basically spent the whole weekend playing solitaire, watching random YouTube clips, and reading random trivia on Wikipedia. So not only did I waste the whole weekend, but I didn't even waste it on anything particularly interesting.
STEVE: Dude, that's extreme weekend syndrome. What the frick did you have to do during the week?

New Year's diet

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.
