Mastering Physics

A demonic website used by AP Phsyics high school teachers and college professors to rape any science student. Be prepared to lose all motivation to learn about science. Usually takes 4 hours, 2 hours if you cheat and use chegg or yahoo answers. Side effects include lack of sleep, losing hair, diarrhea, loss of time, and hysteria. Developed by students and MIT, yet it somehow spread to high school and colleges of obviously less intellect. If your teacher or professor assigns this, you might as well drop the class.

Alex: “ Yea, you might as well start now because you won’t be done until 2 A.M.”
Dave: “ Ok, first I’m going to go jump off a bridge.”

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.
