To learn someone something real good. The people I don't like need this to happen to them because I think the right thoughts and they think the wrong ones.
Iam "My initial problem was that the people around me took it upon themselves to 'educate' me. I wasn't playing the game right and needed to be taught a lesson. It was subtle at first. I'd be out and about and I hear something say something to me that related to something I was recently talking about. I didn't think anything of it at first. A strange coincidence. How many times does that have to happen before a pattern has been established? At what point does the anecdotal become a statistical reality? I think it's the eyes. I have a rather distinct appearance so I'm not hard to recognize. But it's not a real education. It's this Orwellian facade. 'We know better than you' they say. 'What makes you think you know better than us?' they ask."

Hym "Well, Occam's razor for one. The simplest answer is more likely than not the correct one. So, maybe you're a moron and I do know better. If the depth of your intellect is as shallow as a piss-puddle then it doesn't take all that much to know better than you. Hahahahaha!"

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.
