quantum mechanics

A concept in physics concerning the counter-intuitive motion and mechanics of subatomic particles. Despite not applying to anything larger than an electron, quantum mechanics is often lamely invoked by pseudoscientists to justify whatever ridiculous phenomenon they are proposing.

rusty trumpbone

A rusty trumpbone is a maneuver in the field of government appointments, where a candidate with hopes of high office rabidly licks the arsehole of a person in power while simultaneously and publicly wanking him off, in the hope of being appointed to a lucrative position in the resulting swamp.
Steven Bannon and Rudy Giuliani both give an impressive rusty trumpbone.

the sun

British comic, largely obsessed with keeping the public outraged, and at the same time titillated, by over-the-top stories about child sexual abuse. The Sun also occasionally features articles on football, Britney Spears, foreigners, and benefit claimants. Often contains rants against 'pervs', which is rather ironic given The Sun's joint role as soft pornography.
