A Jankist is someone who needs things to make sense in a logical way that lines up almost perfectly with the way they think. It is someone who needs everything to have a purpose that they agree with. To them, there must always be a plan for every little thing in life. If something were to cause a change that they were not prepared for, they will shun it. Anything that deviates from the norm will generally be viewed with skepticism, cynicism, and if it would force them to change, outright hated. Creativity, experimentation, and fun, if not done by the jankist themselves, is viewed as childish garbage to the jankist. A Jankist will generally seek out the satisfaction of winning, at the end of the game, at the expense of having fun during the game. They will even go so far as to ruin the fun of the game for other players if things do not go the way they planned or wanted. Instead of attacking enemy players, a jankist can often be seen attacking or berating teammates.
"A healer is a healer and should not be permitted to be able to perform the role of a dps," said the jankist. "That's just not what healers were originally designed for. Stay the course."

META players who treat the meta in games like the bible are jankists.

Someone who thinks horses are meant for riding and for no other reason is a jankist.

B'jankity 

A word used to convey a state of something being completely weird and stupid. It can be used in the place of fubar, lame , F*cked up and/or retarded. For example, instead of saying "My brother is being a dumb lame jerk" you would say "My brother is being b'jankty". Because it is such a rare and wonderful word, it is highly important to spell it correctly (b'jankity) and to pronounce it correctly (buh-JANE-kuh-tee).

The word originated around the Avon, IN area and has built and grown upon its own success in recent years.
"Holycrap, that test was freaking b'jankity!"

"Dude, that was a lame-ass b'jankty excuse for not coming with us and hanging out yesterday."

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.
