Bewildered Masses

Originating from Walter Lippman's commentating on mass culture, the 'bewildered herd' is the masses that are tamed through propaganda and mass media in order that the machine of democracy is kept properly oiled.

The bewildered masses must be subdued, tamed, and injected with the popular opinion of the upper class of politicians, heads of corporations, and all others belonging to the elite class of intellectuals and wealthy, in order to govern a nation and circumvent any defect in democracy.
The single function of the bewildered masses is to be spectators, not participants, in a democratic nation.
The bewildered masses give their power to a benevolent overlord who makes decisions (apparently) for the good of them all.

Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered

Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered is a stand-alone fantasy and mystery novel by author Riley Carrick. The plot follows Faye Maple, a composed and perceptive witch who runs both the Maple Inn and a metaphysical shop called Burn, Brew, and Bubble. Her life, already defined by personal loss and a careful balance between normalcy and magic, is disrupted when she experiences a vivid and unsettling prophetic vision in which she stands over a dead body, a bloodied knife in her hand.

As Faye attempts to interpret what she has seen, the town stumbles upon a long-lost local legend: the Cruthers Curse, a centuries-old prophecy written by Mabel Cruthers, a woman once known for her uncanny intuition during the American Revolution. The curse, preserved across five fragmented parchment pages, describes a series of escalating misfortunes in poetic, symbolic language. When the first of these predictions comes true in the form of a sudden infestation of mice in the town café, it becomes clear that the curse is no longer dormant. As panic and excitement ripple through Wickfield Hollow, the town’s theatrical mayor, Ida Paris, seizes the moment to draw attention and tourism, organizing a large-scale Halloween festival known as the Wickfield Hollow-ween Town Showdown.

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.
