A test for movies. In order to "pass" a movie must have
1) At least two named female characters who
2) talk to each other about
3) something other than a man
It's meant to point out how women aren't really seen a central points to the action, and even in scenes between two or more women the object of their discussion is usually the male character at the center of the film.
Movies that "fail" the Bechdel test are usually said to do so because male executives don't believe that movie-going audiences would watch a movie about a woman/women, despite recent evidence to the contrary (Juno, Terminator w/ Sarah Connor, etc).

In the movie Juno, the title character and her friend have many conversations via burgerphone about everything from Taco Bell to babies. That movie passes the Bechdel test.

Get the Bechdel Test mug.Spawned in the depths of hell, it is a physical exercise which is tailored to humilliate and exhaust gym students. Especially the fat ones.

Get the testilie mug.TestosterPWN: Man's default-and only-emotion. Men are always full of TestosterPWN; sometimes for good reason; and sometimes for no reason at all. Not to be confused with PheraPWN, which is what women become once a month any time you want to play games, or when you want to have sex, which happens to be 100% of the time.

Get the TestosterPWN mug.Surprisingly teshticle has no connection with the word testicle - therefore it is not a rude word. Teshticle is a word used to refer to a geeky person - specifically someone who played lots of video games, watches childrens tv shows and spends large amounts of time searching for weird things on the internet.
