The most amazing girl you’ll ever meet in the world. You’ll want to be around her all the time because she just has that vibe to her and personality that makes you fall in love with her.

You’ll want to be her friend, know everything about her, she’s just so interesting and mysterious that you can’t get enough of her. Your time with her will always be the best you ever had with anyone and you’ll miss her when she’s not around like how a little kid misses their teddy bear. Watch out though don’t get on this girls bad side or you’ll regret, but other than that she’s one cool, amazing, caring, loving, one of a kind, sweetheart you’ll ever know and love.

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.
