manel

A conference panel where the speakers are all male. The term is used by feminists to shame people who don't practice gender inclusivity.

Can you believe there wasn't a single woman on the panel - I mean manel - at the "Firsthand experiences with erectile dysfunction" talk? What an outrage!

debauchery

A dorky word meaning an occurrence of crazy inappropriate behavior, such as an orgy. What it usually means in practice is a night where some drinking occurs and people act slightly less uptight than usual. The kind of people who get involved in real "debauchery" never use this word.

Dwight: "Wow, that physics party was off the heezy for sheezy! I had like 6 beers and we played strip poker and these two girls stripped all the way down to their bra and panties! Such debauchery!"
Ted: "Shut up man - you have no clue. I just woke up next to three hookers in a pool of my own vomit with coke powder scattered all over myself and a new dick piercing that I have no clue how I got. I'll catch you later. I need to head to the doc - it itches. Typical Thursday night."

barleywine

The greatest style of beer ever to grace the earth. Typically clocking in upwards of 8% ABV, this wine-strength beer is the motherlode of malty goodness, and is the preferred style of the highest echelon of cicerone s. There are two sub-styles, American and English, the former of which has more hop flavor and bitterness. As heavy hopping is appropriate in an IPA but destroys the pure heavenly flavor of this glorious beer style, a preference for American barleywine has been linked in scientific studies with brain damages, taste bud disorders, and early onset dementia. "Barleywine" is also generally considered to be a synonym of "life", thus giving rise to the common expression "Barleywine is life", or BiL for short.

Albert Einstein: "I just discovered the special theory of relativity, which Is the biggest breakthrough in theoretical physics in centuries. Also, I prefer American barleywine to English and hazy IPAs to barleywine in general."
Master cicerone: "Yeah, sorry to break it to you brah, but I think you may be mentally retarded."
