bucfotariat

The set of people who are hopelessly inept at a given task.

Derives from a misspelling of Burcot to Bucfot, a location containing a branch of a garden centre reporting low sales figures due to small size.

Also there is 'bucfotine' meaning highly inept ie. 'His attempts to woo the blonde at the nightclub were bucfotine at best.'

Lastly 'bucfot warrior' meaning someone who, although highly inept, tries their best eg. 'Bless the Bucfot Warrior scoring 69 over par at the golf tournament.'

And there are the bucfotariat. They go clubbing regularly hoping to pull. Even where pulling is easy, some havent scored in years!

Mean Pallet

A term used in logistics to describe the centre of gravity of all pallets carrying (or not) carrying goods worldwide. Due to the absence of a GPS tracker on most pallets, this is a quantity (expressed as a latitude and longitude) that can only be estimated.

Setting 0.N and 0.E as a baseline, the mean pallet is estimated to be somewhere over the Caspian Sea (due to a high level of manufacturing in the far east.) It is also estimated to be drifting in a east-south-easterly direction at a rate of 0.24 kilometres per day although the movement of the largets container ships can produce significant noise in this trend.

(From a postdoctorate textbook in applied logistics):-

'The Mean Pallet was a phrase first coined in the 19th Century by a Victorian industrialist who, looking out of his factory window, proclaimed 'I wonder where ye average of all ye world pallets be'
