the fear

paranoia/ panic caused by marijuana use

origin: William S Burroughs, LETTER FROM A MASTER ADDICT ON DANGEROUS DRUGS: "Cannabis Indica (hashish, marijuana). --The effects of this drug have been frequently and luridly described: disturbance of space-time perception, acute sensitivity to impressions, and flight of ideas, laughing jags, silliness. Marijuana is a sensitizer, and the results are not always pleasant. It makes a bad situation worse. Depression becomes despair, anxiety panic. I have already mentioned my horrible experience with marijuana during acute morphine withdrawal. I once gave marijuana to a guest who was mildly anxious about something ("On bum kicks" as he put it). After smoking half a cigarette he suddenly leapt to his feet screaming, "I got the fear!" and rushed out of the house."

Froschmäusekrieg

Froschmäusekrieg is german for "war between the frogs and the mice" from a poem attributed to Homer (Batrachomyomachia), which is a satire about the pointlessness of war or feuding.

Froschmäusekrieg was used by Helen Dukas (Einstein's secretary and literary executor) to describe the long and bitter dispute between the School of Math and the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study. A good word to know when facing such a dispute.

code brown

medical terminology: Xray examination of the large intestine (i.e. for polyps) may require the dreaded double threat 'double contrast' barium/ air enema, in which the cleansed colon is rinsed with barium and then inflated with air like a balloon - if the patient is unable to maintain compression of the sphincter to retain the catheter/ split valve/ inflatable buttplug used to supply the barium/ air AND to stopper the anus, and thus sprays a mixture of air, barium and fecal matter under pressure from their anus (under pressure - remember the intestine is inflated with air), it may be known as a 'code brown'. this is one of many reasons Xray techs wear shoe covers.

the patient blew a code brown, and housekeeping spent the rest of the day scrubbing fecal matter out of the light fixture with a small toothbrush
