Get the Einsteina mug.Pronounced /aɪnʃtant/ or /ɛɪnʃtɒnd/. Typically non-capitalized if not used in languages other than German.
A german word, originally meaning something along the lines of "honorary joining" or "gift given upon entering service" (and also, a term in tennis).
In Hungarian, the term is nowadays used to describe when someone steals something, though, it originally meant to take something by force, on the "right of the stronger" - essentially, might makes right, and the mighty have the right to all.
This description of the word originates from Hungarian writer Ferenc's Molnár's famous youth novel, "The Paul Street Boys", where it was described as a word used by bigger kids, when they want to take a smaller kid's toys - basically saying that unless the toy in question is handed over, there will be trouble - a one-word note of seizure by force.
While originally an invented re-appropriation, the word soon entered popular slang, thanks to the novel's popularity, and is still widely used today, albeit, it's meaning has now been altered to mean either taking something for your own use (when it is for public use), and hogging it to yourself, or used ironically, when someone takes something before you, simply on a "first come, first served" basis.

I was playing marbles with some of the others, when to big kids from the other school came over, called "Einstand", and took all of our marbles!

Located in Kensington, Maryland, Einstein High is rich in opposites. It's like Freaks and Geeks. There are the poor Newport Mill kids, the IB kids, the few rich wannabes (to be avoided), and the VAC/theatre kids (you might think they're cool, but be careful: most of them are into Homestuck). 50% of the students at Einstein are Hispanic and all the white kids think that's a real hoot.
Einstein is nicknamed "Crimestein" because of a few incidents that happened six years ago. It's pretty boring now.
To incoming freshmen: Mrs. Carballo's class is hell and it will make you cry. Also, don't think you'll be the only one who takes all the tough classes-- every white kid does.
Oh, and you can't wear hats.

Get the Finkle is Einhorn mug.Refers to a joke which becomes much less funny if it requires an explanation.
Farcically derived from a nonsense situation whereby Einstein and his assistant at the time have just finished explaining, in great depth, the workings of hie great Theory of Relativity. Upon finishing the lecture, the gathered scientists and philosophers look a little non-plussed an tentatively applaud Einstein for his great work . . . though really they don't quite understand it. Whilst accepting the applause graciously, Einstein turns to his assistant, who happens to be chuckling, and mutters "See, I told you, it's nowhere near as funny when you have to explain it (!)"
First credit for this original word/concept must be given to Ian James Hay, for it was his peculiar mind that created it :)

British word-play and some puns lose they're humour when they're translated and/or explained to a foreigner; therefore they're einsteinisms.

Get the Einsteinism mug.This is a very serious question and it must be answered carefuly and gradualy.
First, let's see what is the ourpose of Einstein's theory of relativity. Well, it helps an astrophysicist to calculate the trajectory of a galaxy, because at such a large speeds an distances relativistic effects are very important. Than he earns some mony for his calculations, which he uses to buy a car and a flat, so he can get laid. In essence, Einstein's theory's purpose is to get laid.
Geometry of Lobachewsky is about curved space. It is useful for another astrophysicist, to calculate effects of passege of a small black hole next to our solar system, and its effects on our space-time. He will get some mony for his calculations from the agency he works for, so that he can buy a car and a flat, and get laid. In essence, geometry of Lobachewsky is used just to get laid.
And finnaly, let's see what is the burpose of calculus. Well, calculus studies behaviour of systems during some period of time depending on various variables. An engineer employed in hydroelectric power plant uses it to calculet the production of electricity, which depends on the rate of flow of the water through turbines, ammount of water in accumulation etc. It is impossible without calculus. Of course, our engineer won't do this just like that. He will earn money from company he works for, so that he can buy a car and a flat, where he can get laid. In essence, the purpose of calculus is getting laid.
