cronenberg
(noun) A twisted mockery of a human being. Distorted beyond all recognition but still retaining enough human qualities to suggest a human origin. Often a result of a horrible virus or malevolent alien entity attempting to create a human race in it's own sick image.
Oh man, ever since those huge worldwide explosions a couple years ago, there sure are a lot of cronenbergs lumbering around.

David Cronenberg
Probably the smartest film director alive. Made horror films in the 70s and then started making his unique "Cronenfilms" in the 80s. The formula is: show really fucked-up stuff in a really neutral way. Classic example: The scene in Videodrome where a guy grows a vagina-like stomach slit and then pokes around in it with a handgun while the camera just watches, like it's an instructional film ("What to do with Your New Organ"). The main rules of a Cronenfilm: Don't judge, just show. Don't make it exciting, just make it weird. But show what's really going on, even if it makes no sense. Best films: Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, Crash, Naked Lunch, A History of Violence. Has been a huge influence on: horror movies (esp. the Ring movies) and sci-fi (esp. the Matrix movies). Best time to watch: drunk/high, or in a mood to think about weird shit. Worst time: when you're in the mood for action or romance.
Dude, that scene in the Matrix where the bug crawls into the guy's stomach? Totally David Cronenberg.
or:
The Ring was trying to be David Cronenberg on crack.

croneage
Somewhat akin to old age, or a person in their golden years; but croneage has more pizazz. You are accepting of the wrinkles that have developed over the passing years with grace. The streaks of silver in your hair do not bother you. Your perception of life is young at heart; and a croneager is open to new ideas and learning new skills. Mostly importantly a croneager can laugh at themselves with ease. Applicable to females and males.
croney mingler
Crony Mingler
cro•ny (krô'nç)
n.
A longtime close friend or companion.
Possibly from Greek khronios, long lasting, from khronos, time.
min•gler (mĭng'gəlr)
n., pl. -ers.
One who joins or take part with others: The minglers mingled with their cronies.
Middle English menglen, frequentative of mengen, to mix, from Old English mengan.
Croney mingler refers to groups of people who gather in public areas and occupy space without an ostensible purpose. This term most often refers to people between the ages of 12 and 20, the unemployed and or trustees who coalesce in public places such as shopping centres, parks, or cafés. Crony mingling can also be quite prevalent in areas that have heavy tourist traffic, i.e., beach towns, ski towns or small historical towns where bored aimless locals are attracted by a continual influx of non-locals with whom they can interact for entertainment value. Often this interaction is one sided and involves incredulous looks, smirks and a palpable air of their own coolness that radiates around an approximate twenty foot radius of any given space where they stand. Crony minglers are generally harmless and if treated with caution and respect can often be quite helpful with information on where to acquire black market goods.

Boffin
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.

Pee Calculus
