basal book

A "basal book" is one that is absolutely crucial to a particular academic discipline or profession, a book that everyone who knows anything knows about. It is a book (or perhaps an article) that forms the basis for understanding a certain topic or joining a certain conversation. It is often the sort of book that everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read. It is always the sort of book or article that cannot be digested properly by reading it all the way through just once, but must be studied and digested (analytical reading helps with this).
Greg Glassman's article "What is Fitness?" is a basal article for the Crossfit movement.

Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" is a basal book for the environmentalist movement.

"Mein Kampf" is a basal book for the Nazi movement.

Bagal (ba-gol) - adj., v. - It was originated from the Urdu word “pagal.” First it went from “pagal” to “baagal” (baa-gal), which later turned to “Bagal”, which has finally, most recently, turned into the word agal (a-gol). When Yunus Bhayya was asked about this, he said that ‘the b got dropped’, which meant that the b was not necessary. Now, to get onto the real definition, the word bagal means (in adj. form) “bad, trash, or just not good.” For its adjective form, it can be used in a sentence by saying, “you are bagal at this.” For a verb form, the definition is, “destroying (not literally), beating very bad.” As a verb, it can be used in a sentence by saying, “I am bagalling on this person in the game.”
“I am bagalling on this person in the game.” “you are bagal at this.”
