Fluid Mechanics

The one area of physics where its researchers are actually mostly mathematicians.
Ed: Ey Bob I am studying fluid mechanics
Bob: You mean the area of physics you see mathematicians and engineers study instead of physicists?

A derisive portmanteau of "frugal" and "stupid" used especially within dysfunctional corporate environments where management espouses "frugality" as a virtue yet fails to distinguish between this and "cheap."
Manager: I changed your server order from the m1.large nodes to VIC-20s. It's too expensive.
Engineer: There's no way we'll be able to keep the site running on VIC-20s!
Manager: Oh, remind me to dock you for not being frugal in your next performance review.
Engineer: I think you mean frupid.

supercritical fluid 

A supercritical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point. It can seep through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid. plus, close to the critical point, small changes in pressure or temperature result in large changes in density, allowing many properties of a supercritical fluid to be negligable. Supercritical fluids are used as a substitute for organic solvents in a range of industrial and laboratory processes.
Carbon dioxide is the most commonly used supercritical fluid. they are used for decaffeination. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.
When life is completely chaotic and you have no idea of the path you are on.
"What is up with Bob?"
"I know, he's so flupie. Why doesn't he decide on a job and just go with it."

Blinker fluid 

A prank that parents play on their children when they’re old enough to drive. Blinker fluid/fuel is not real but is a common joke, most shop owners play along or will laugh at you.
“Run down to the auto parts store and get me some blinker fluid”, but when Billy went to the store the managers just laughed at him.

Flavortown Fluid 

Pour one can of coke, enough vodka to deal with your shitty kids, one half shot of lime juice, then stir in bong and take a fat rip, transfer into a cocktail glass and enjoy with a side of diarrhea-enducing Chipotle.
"I enjoy the finer things in life, such as a flavorful margarita on the rocks or a Flavortown Fluid."
