Caligula's Revetment

A small bundle of toilet paper, situated at the base of the toilet bowl to form a basket before defecation (may or may not touch the water). Used to counter the effect known as Poseidon's Kiss.

In reference to the mad Roman emperor Caligula in Suetonius' and Cassius Dio's apocryphal accounting of his war against Neptune, god of the sea. Some believe these historical reports to be false, regardless of believability.
Matt: I didn't believe anyone when they said Caligula's Revetment would protect my anus from non-consensual god-smooching, but it worked better than I could have hoped!
Daniel: Matthew your friends are worried about you

Caligula effect

This phenomenon refers to the heightened desire and attraction towards something that is prohibited or restricted. This phenomenon, also known as the Streisand Effect, is driven by the impulse to engage in forbidden actions, leading to increased interest and curiosity. For example, a ban on a movie can generate more interest than if the movie were widely available.
The Caligula effect was in full swing when the school banned that controversial book, making everyone want to read it even more.

lambda calculus

Formal system for expressing computation defined by Alonzo Church. Computer scientists love it and have created cult-like groups based on it, such as the Knights of the Lambda Calculus and the Knights who Say Lambda.

Pi Calculus

When π, the world’s most arguably beloved or beautiful mathematical constant, weighs the pros and cons of revealing too little or too much about herself in order to maximize her universal appeal, while minimizing any negative publicity or fallout, in popular culture.
With fierce fellow competitors like e and 𝜙 watching her every move to outwit her, it’s no surprise that π is perpetually paranoid—pi calculus remains a necessary evil for her to maintain her competitive edge.
