Grooligan 

A person or group of people who respond to a discount deal through Groupon and display rude or unruly behavior when they visit the local business that created the promotion.

Similar to hooligan, the grooligan looks for the cheapest deal then crashes the local establishment with or without other grooligans expecting to be treated like a preferred customer while paying almost nothing.

Alternate spelling: Grouligan
Don't run that Groupon promo for the game dude, you will only get Grooligans in your bar.

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.
