Function: noun
Etymology: Play on the famously abstruse novel Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco and its title's source, Jean Bernard Leon Foucault's pendulum, a simple pendulum suspended from a long wire and set into motion along a meridian. The plane of motion appears to turn clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, demonstrating the axial rotation of the earth.
1. the moment of not knowing if poops are dangling or not after a sphincter-numbing bowl movement 2. confusion when the whirl of toilet flush snatches a still-dangling poop from one's anal. See also: defecult.

Get the pendulum mug.A sexuality that is very fluid or fluctuates often.
Imagine two perpendicular lines. One of them is a continuum between 100% asexual one one end and 100% hypersexual on the other end. The other line is a continuum between strictly homosexual on one end and strictly heterosexual on the other end. Their sexual preference falls in random spots respective to those two lines, as if you were to dangle a pendulum above them and swing it in a circle.

Some days, Sally feels asexual, but other days she feels hypersexual. Sometimes she likes girls, sometimes she likes boys, sometimes she likes nonbinary people, sometimes she does not prefer either of the two nor anything in between. Sally labels her fluid sexuality as the sexual pendulum.
