"Iä" is a word used to address eldritch Lovecraftian gods of supreme cosmic evil. Probably the (currently) most common use of this greeting is "Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!" Which basically translates to "Hail! Hail! Cthulhu sleeps!" "Iä!" is pronounced thusly: ee-AY! (same phoenetic vowel combination as "eat cake.") This word can also be used to describe something suitably badass, or perhaps evil in a hokey sort of way. It's quite versatile.
Have you seen that new Pope? When I see him, I don't know whether to cross myself or to cry out Iä!

Ias value education, friendship and acceptance above all else. They put maximal effort into everything they do, and are clever and intuitive. However, Ias are all typically potential psycopaths who have a hard time talking about their feelings. They are one of the most loyal friends you will ever have- you will have a very hard time getting rid of them, since they are also somewhat clingy. But be glad if you ever meet someone named Ia- although they have too many negative qualities to count, they are also loyal, kind, have good memories, and will stick with you to the end of the line.
There is a person named Ia in this nearby vicinity.

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.
