Len Bakerloo's definitions

To eat ridiculously expensive trendy snacks with no nutritional value that look like they taste bad but are actually delicious (albeit just as unhealthy as breaded Twinkies deep fried in lard). Practiced mostly by the wealthy, highly paid Unix programmers and college students burning through student loans.

Gnnosh is a recursive acronym for: “Gnnosh's Not Nosh.”
My student loan came through so for $18 I'll upgrade the fries and gnnosh on the deep fried Peruvian Rain Forest Yucca Chips with Pink Hawaiian Sea Salt.

Reductio ad Absurdum

Share definition
A process of making something stupid because that is what Google says it is.

For Example: If you put “Reductio ad Absurdum” into Google Translate it detects the language as Latin, and translates it to English as: “Reductio ad Absurdum.”

Another Example: For years (through May 29, 2018 at least) if you ask Google "What does it mean to be an American?" it responds with this as the first answer (in a box even):

"It means that I can say "The Pledge of Allegiance" and that I can vote for the President, my county clerk, and the Mayor. But to me it means most of all to be free and to be proud that I live in the United States of America here in Wisconsin."

Dig deeper and you'll find it is written by an 10-year-old who, in addition to thinking that the U. S. is in Wisconsin, does not know that to be an American means she is free to NOT say the pledge and that she has 10 years to go before she can vote.

Thank you Google for establishing a 10-year-old as the #1 expert on what it means to be a patriot. Way to go.
If we're going to Make America Great Again we've got to stop all this Reductio ad Absurdum going on.

Lucky Destroyer

Share definition
Cocktail.
Recipe:
3 oz. Vodka
1 oz. Diströya Spirits
1/2 Ice Cube

You order a double by indicating you want a whole ice cube. Scale appropriately (e.g., if ordered with two ice cubes, scale by four). Illegal in most states.
First Person: I'll have a Sam Adams and my friend will have a Lucky Destroyer with one ice cube.
Second Person: Ooooh, that sounds interesting, but I want three ice cubes. Why is it called that?
Barman: Because one of you is going to get lucky and the other is going to get destroyed.
Second Person: Well, let's stop after this one drink.
First Person: That was the plan.

In linear algebra, an n-by-n square matrix A is called invertible (also nonsingular or nondegenerate) if there exists an n-by-n square matrix B such that:

AB = BA = I (where I is the Identity Matrix).

Otherwise, in life, it refers to the case where something can be transformed into something else and transformed back.
Randy: Sally is so invertible; real marriage material.

Sandy: I know, nonsingularly so. Put a few drinks in her and you can get her on her back and yet in the morning she still gets up and cooks you breakfast.
