Estonian phenomenon 

Estonia is a small country in northern Europe that feels and would like to be nordic, but actually belongs to the baltic countries south of the baltic sea. Due to its size and since just about 1.4 million people live there (for reference: New York has 8.4 million inhabitants) , somthing that has been dubbed the "estonian phenomenon" can be witnessed here. The term describes that everyone practically knows everyone or at least someone who knows them. This makes gossip equally more interesting and more dangerous, since the person you are gossiping about will almost certainly hear about it. Sometimes Estonia feels like a big family gathering of a country where even someone who seems to be a random stranger has most likely some kind of relation to you.
"Oh hey, I know the girl who just delivered our food... that was an awkward interaction"
"How do you know her?"

"Its just a case of estonian phenomenon, my classmate used to work at her families store and she used to play soccer with my second cousin. Did you know that she broke up with her Boyfriend?"

Edon or an Edonian is an ancient race on the brink of extinction. This is due to their retard nature. The average intelligence of an Edonian is that of an Ogre with one head from Warcraft.

Edonians are so stupid, so stupid that you cant really imagine their stupidity, it is legendary. Edonians are also very horny constantly trying to satisfy their hunger for pussy. Worse is, they dont even think before they speak. They just talk shit and nothing else. They even stalk people gathering even the most crucial information about you such as living place, birthdate etc.

The biggest and maybe best thing of all is, you can actually make fun of them, fuck with them, and they don't even notice that they are being teased or bullied. They just laugh. That makes it much better!

It is worth knowing that only people called "Edon" as their name, are the only true Edonians with real Edonian blood in them. Only one exists onto present day.
You: What is your name?

Person: My name is Edonian......

You: oohhh crap GOTTA RUN!!!!!

etopia, refers to a socially idealistic society, void of any form of authoritative governing body political, religious or economical. The economical system practiced in etopia is the free idéaliste-équilibré economy. which is the opposite to that of Sir Thomas mores Utopia. Mores utopia, makes reference to a society governed by a highly centralized and authoritative state institution, with a strong state welfare system. It also advocates the sinister practise of slavery, and is a highly materialistic and excessive society. Whereas etopia, in contrast has no state sanctioned welfare system in place and is fiercely opposed to the immoral practise of slavery.
No such society as etopia, yet exists. However, with the proper astute, education and the implementing of the proper and necessary measures in to place, the etopian idealistic society can very well become a reality.

OK for starters i say that i am an estonian and i read both definitions, one by "eestlaneeeee jeee" and the other by "NobodySpeshul". One of them is clearly Russian and the other Estonian. They represent 2 different extremities. The truth is somewhere in between. I know Estonians are happy with their little country, i'm not a Russian so not sure about them. But i say let's not fight, and if we hate each other so much and can't be friends, then we should at least leave each other alone. Thanks.
Russian: "Estonians suck goddamn idiots Russia FTW!"
Estonian: "Stupid Russians hope they burn in hell, Estonia is the best!"
We should stop acting like kids. Both nations.

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.
