1. What many hippies of the 60s and 70s turned into in the 80s and 90s with the best intentions, except without drugs or any attempt to change the world. They almost all live in the Southwest, are obsessed with Egypt, India, or someplace else that's exotic, they mix the worst parts of all Eastern and Pagan Religions and say "I'm spiritual, not religious." Almost all are sold out baby boomer women that are not quite fat, have orange hair, and have overbites. They would probably say to this definition, in their draining whisper, "I'm picking up on a lot of hostility here. Can I do Reiki on you?"
2. The music they play while meditating on why Native Americans and Asians don't all love them even though they have the respect to drain their traditions.
I had a vision from the Spirit I was at the Pyramids and suddenly Isis blanketed me inside a blanket of warm healing energy. You know what that means, I was Nefertiti in a past life. Oh, and these Tibetan monks were giving me prayer flags. And there was some Enya song in the background."

Slack off hippies who don't even have the tits to actually stand for a cause. The believe that the best way to become one with the earth is to buy mass produced books, tapes, crystals, cloth, and other crap that probably were responsible for the death of at least one species of exotic tree and a few dozen monkeys.

They also like to be lazy "vegetarians", lazy activists, and generally holier-than-thou twats who hate any emotion that isn't about sprinkling flowers and love or fucking your cat.

New Agers like to live in pricey lofts that are especially equipped for white people, drink frappuccinos, and denounce anyone who actually cares about the environment as "extremists". They are usually pacifists, so they're great for the beginner gun enthusiast.
Beth: Holy shit, look at that New Ager!
Jessica: Yeah, I got that beauty a few nights ago. He kept screaming about me disrupting his "chi", so it was a little difficult to concentrate and aim properly.
New Age by Jessica Murder-Your-Soul October 21, 2009
An age when people who have had the marvelous blessings of living in a Judeo-Christian tradition, a free education, free libraries, and access to information, reject everything they have learned, and all of their common sense. They adopt the customs of people who live with cobras in the road, and pretend to believe in reincarnation. This leads to such preposterous principles as "meat is murder."
Who were you in your previous life, Rebekah?

Previous life?!! What do you think I am, a Hindu? A snake charmer? An ass-trologer? A New Age Yuppie? Come on, Rosemary, gimme a break!


New Age Yuppie: Don't take part in the rodeo! Meat is murder!

Cowboy: Get outta my way, you brainless New Age twerp! That steer sure as hell ain't MY grandpa!

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.
