Galvanistic 

galvanism is the concept, uh, the obsolete scientific theory that there is a kind of electricity flowing through our bloodstreams
And that was our life force
I used the term because I came across it in, uh, Mary Shelley's, uh, "Frankenstein"
And that book is sort of an exploration of the theme of creating a character, of making up a person
So I used the term "galvanistic" to allude to that book as a sort of a symbol of how I like, created you as a character
I'm pretending that I know a lot more about you than I actually do
And also to refer to the fact that I've fall—fallen in love with the characters you've created in, uh, your body of work
You galvanistic young boy
You galvanistic young man
You galvanistic young inhuman
You understand

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.
