Constantin

My North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk my song.
I love Constantin.

Consolation Prize

A consolation prize is when you ask a girl out and she says no but she wants to remain good friends. The guy feels like he is not good enough for a romantic relationship just a platonic friendship.

This usually occurs between friends; the guy and the girl start as friends however the guy starts to like her romantically and wants their friendship to develop into a relationship. When he lets his feelings be known to her, she turns him down but honestly tells him she wants him as a friend. At this point the guy needs to do some soul searching and figure out if they can go back to the way things were or they go their separate ways.

Sometimes girls will say this to a guy they don't know well as a subtle cue to go away. However this most often happens between friends and has the ability to destroy friendships. The guy has had his pride hurt and is left resentful and bitter and feels like he has been made a fool of by the girl who he thought so much of.

The girl is left hurt as well, since she feels guilty about hurting him and possibly losing a close friend. However she can quickly get annoyed at him if she thinks he's being immature or trying to guilt trip her into a relationship by acting depressed. Its an awkward situation and requires much tact and patience for things to turn out alright.

Consolation Prize

Not everyone gets to win the top prize in a relationship, but this fact is not always easy to swallow. The consolation prize is the second choice in a relationship when you can't be with who you really want to be with.

Wadsworth Constant

The Wadsworth constant, first postulated by Redditor Wadsworth, states that one can skip the first thirty percent of most videos while still maintaining the integrity of the content.

The constant itself is indicated by the lower case Greek letter Xi (ξ).
By applying the Wadsworth Constant to the above text, we find that it is shortened to a much more readable version.

Higginbotham's Constant

Higginbotham's Constant (denoted as lower-case 'h') is a mathematical constant which represents the total sum of all practical intelligence on any given planet.

The implication is that the higher the population of sentient beings on the planet, the lower the average intelligence will be among any large sample set. This does not preclude beings of higher intellect, but it requires that on average, there is one person as far below average as the former being is above average.
Person 1: "Why does it seem like the people staffing the company helpdesk get dumber every day?"
Person 2: "Higginbotham's Constant in action, my friend..."

Person 1: "I was on jury duty the other day. Have you seen what the trash of society wears into a courtroom? How has society lost so much respect for anyone and anything else in just a few decades?"
Person 2: "Higginbotham strikes again..."
