Black Noise 

According to David Bowie in an interview with Dick Cavett:

"Black Noise is the register in which you can crack a city or people...it's a noise bomb."

Likely referring to the great protest culture that pervaded music during the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. Probably wasn't talking about shitty punk garage bands screaming about getting stuck in traffic.
"This Black Noise is gonna be all over Detroit man, boys are gonna riot!"

"If you think a single song can fix unemployment, poverty, starvation, disease, prostitution, crime, and your mother's macaroni salad, be my guest bub."

Black Noise 

A mind numbing sensation that deafens the ears when all that can be found on the television is BET or VH1.

No-nonsense black girl. 

Contrary to popular belief, the no-nonsense black girl exhibits very much nonsensical behavior. She attempts to be a diverse member of society only to modestly reject others' praise of her realistic simulations of races that just are not her color. She has been known to suggest that you develop schitzophrenic habits and stay out of her thundering path. She's black, she's got a vagina, and she don't take none of dat silly ass nonsense sheeit. SHE WILL NOT CHANGE FOR YOU SO STOP TRYING SO HARD.
She's a No-nonsense black girl. She totally isn't changing her ways! Just look at her! No changes!

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.
