Mendoza Line

The point at which a woman's craziness outweighs her level of beauty.

For a woman to be considered "below the Mendoza Line," she must be sufficiently crazy that it doesn't matter how beautiful she is; you would still not sleep with her.

Based on the baseball term of the same name, referring to the point at which a player's poor batting average cannot be justified despite his defensive abilities.
George- "Dude, Suzy's all over you tonight. Why are you ignoring her?"

Brett- "Trust me man, she's way below the Mendoza Line. Her last boyfriend had to change his social security number."

George- "...mind if I go for it?"

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.

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.
