post-adastra depression 

The empty feeling you’re left with after finishing the Furry Visual Novel; Adastra
It’s been weeks since I’ve finished the game and I’m still suffering from post-adastra depression
Literally latin for "to the stars". A game that shatters your soul and leaves you wanting more. This game is an emotional masterpiece disguised as gay smut. Also the name of a moon with a population of Roman space wolves.
Friend 1: Have you played Adastra? Friend 2: No, what's it about? Friend 1: An alien wolf abducts you and takes you to his home for selfish reasons, but soon you develop a bond and he takes it upon himself to keep you safe no matter the cost. Friend 2: Wow that sounds pretty gay... Friend 1: Eh...well in a way, it is, but it is so much more than that. It's about love, fate, faith, friendship, death, politics, and treatchery. It makes you question your own free will, and wether or not you are on the right path in your life.

Friend 2: save it for your philosophy class.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
