Antic Art 

A term defining art created using surreal cartoon images.


an·tic(s) (n. A ludicrous or extravagant act or gesture; a caper) adj. Ludicrously odd; fantastic.)

art (n. Human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature.

When you hear the word Antics, perhaps it might bring to mind the actions of a cartoon character. This association goes well with the nature of this style of art. A cartoon character's actions are typically comprised of both the bold and the outlandish. Likewise are the images of this art style. An art that boasts a sort of dream like cartoon extravaganza, birthed from surrealism and fathered by pop. The true origin of this art is a mass conglomeration of the surreal, the pop and the mass media both vintage and current.
Some famous and up and coming artists of this genre would include
Jim Woodring, Shag and Voodoo Velvet to name a few.

Anti-Art 

Art created to challenge the very definition of art and criticize the field as a whole, ironically becoming a part of the artistic establishment and changing the field.
Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" changed the world of art forever and became a staple of Anti-Art, having taken an old urinal, wrote his name on it and submitted it as an art piece. This led to debates so heated that if it wasn't for "Fountain" and its nuanced use of found objects, modern art would be nothing like it was today.

Rejecting the idea that a work of art needs to be explained in order for it to be a work of art.

Anti-Con Artist Panopticon

A surveillance network focused on exposing “con artists” in the realms of business, crypto, self‑help, and alternative spirituality. The Anti‑Con Artist Panopticon monitors for scams, Ponzi schemes, and fraudulent gurus. While valuable for consumer protection, its methods often involve doxxing, coordinated harassment, and trial by social media. Innocent practitioners who are simply eccentric or unsuccessful can be swept up, labeled as con artists because they failed to produce results that the panopticon demanded. It blurs the line between exposing fraud and persecuting the unconventional.
Anti-Con Artist Panopticon Example: “The life coach’s program didn’t work for everyone; the Anti‑Con Artist Panopticon declared her a fraud, dug up her address, and encouraged followers to send threats—even though she had a clear refund policy.”

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.
