Dewey Decibel System

A calibrated scale of sound-pressure-level used to measure the degree of ambient noise inside a library. Named after the infamous Thomas E. Dewey and his thunderously-cacophonous presidential campaign against Harry Truman.

The noise-level that's acceptable for inside a library is no more than 35dB on the Dewey Decibel System .

Mad decade

A description of the roaring twenties. A decade filled with nightclubs, the automobile, movies and jazz.

203rd Decade

The decade will commence with the year 2020 and hopefully change the turn from shitty years like 2017, 2018, and 2019, to a new beginning.

Also, the decade in which people will get 20/20 or supervision.

Harry: "Marv, the 203rd decade is gonna be worse than the 2010s..."
Marv: "No I mean I'm gonna get 20/20 vision!"
Harry: --

Someone who looks at your lips as you speak, and also spreads particles as they pass you.

Willow! Stop gazing at my lips! You're such a oberdictum-ratio decedendi!

Ahggg! Stop spreading particles! Polluter of space and such! Don't be a oberdictum-ratio decedendi!
