mess entropy

Mess entropy refers to the tendency of a room to naturally become less tidy as time progresses. May be expressed mathematically as:

dE=dM/t

where E is the mess entropy, M is the actual amount of mess, and t is a given time interval.

Regardless of a room's size, mess entropy will expand to fill it.

gaa

Sports organised by the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association), notably hurling and gaelic football.

I like gaa, but the GAA has a habit of ruining it.

dick lit

Basically, the male equivalent of chick lit. Books aimed at young men, typically with lots of action, adventure, and explosions.

The works of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, and Robert Ludlum would probably be considered dick lit, though plenty of older men like these guys a lot too.

edit war

On Wikipedia, an edit war is where someone changes an entry, and then someone else changes it back. These two then keep changing the entry back and forth rather than discussing the matter on the talk page.

Recently, and edit war on Wikipedia's 'British Isles' entry over whether it was right to include Ireland in the British isles led to textbook pbulisher Fallons to remove all references to the 'British isles' from the Irish editions of their atlases.
