Pretty Actor Syndrome

A sudden outpouring of fangirl attention and love for a fictional character who has recently been portrayed by a conventionally pretty actor in the live-action adaptation. This often angers the purists and hipsters who liked the character before he became hot and popular. Usually applicable only to male characters.

Correct Answer Algorithm

(kə-rekt’ - æn’sɜ:ʳ - æl’gə-rɪð’əm)
n.

A step-by-step problem-solving procedure, especially an established, computational procedure to transmogrify incorrect answers into answers found in the back of textbooks.

X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ

where
Fғ = Fudge Factor,
Xᴜ = the undesired answer,
Cғ = Finagle’s Constant

The Fudge Factor is simply the number, 0, and Finagle’s Constant is the answer in the back of the book (or any other answer that might be preferred instead of the current answer.)
Let’s take this baby out for a spin & see how it works...

Suppose you’ve been asked to solve

    eˣ ⁺ ³ = 5

which requires the use of a natural logarithm which you don’t know how to do because you spent your time in your high school math class doing EHAP homework & texting your friends who are now sitting in the same junior college remedial math class you are.

Since you have no chance of using the $200 TI-89 that mommy & daddy bought you to actually solve this equation, you instead use it like a $10 TI-15 & find a brute force, guess-and-check, decimal solution of x = -1.39 . Whew!

You look in the back of the book & see the answer is “-3 + ln 5”. Dang! You’re screwed because this teacher means business & only accepts answers showing all work & matching the answer in the back of the book.

Not so fast… now’s the time to pull out the *Correct Answer Algorithm*…

X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ

Fғ = Fudge Factor = 0
Xᴜ = the undesired answer = -1.39
Cғ = Finagle’s Constant = -3 + ln 5

X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ

= (0) ∙ (-1.39) + (-3 + ln 5)

= 0 + (-3 + ln 5)

= -3 + ln 5

Voilà! A "solution" showing "work" that produces the correct answer!

While this transmogrification works 100% of the time, you do run the risk of pushing your teacher to the point of mumbling stuff like "Well, even if you did show all your work, it isn't the 'Correct' work", "Only three years till retirement", or correctly identifying you as an incorrigible smart ass.

Aitor

The name given to an absolute god. Popular with the ladies, a lad with the men. Feared for his strength, be it mental or physical, and respected for his kindness. The mere word of his name make girls moist. He is the funniest and most loved of the group, whenever he speaks everyone listens. An Aitor is defiantly NOT one you would want to argue with, but if good friends with him, he will most likely resist from roasting your ass. He would go well with most non-frigid girls but he is never going to last as most hot chick around him might be a bit too much to resist...
Girl 1: Hey did you hear that Aitor is hanging out with us again?
Girl 2: Oh please stop. I already masturbated once today already...
