literally means ("not coming apart") when, sometimes in meiosis, homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids that are paired up together during metaphase remain stuck together instead of separating. Simply stated, nondisjunction is the failure of chromosomes to correctly separate during either meiosis I or II. Also, nondisjunction leads to aneuploidy.
It seems that these chromosomes did not separate correctly during metaphase, which I conclude that they went through nondisjunction.
where the moderator/editor rejects entries to urbandictionary based on their own political biases. this is a bad thing because then your urbandictionary will become marginalized for a smaller group of people as opposed to becoming the expression of the entire population.
urbandictionary has a politically nondiverse moderator/editor that rejects many entries because they don't believe in diversity of thought and they don't believe in being politically fair and balanced. the moderators/editors are politically nondiverse which is contradictive of the definition of "moderator." freedom of speach must include speach that you personally may have a bias against. why not get an adult with some life experience behind his/her belt that understands what freedom of speach is to moderate/edit your urbandictionary so it can evolve to become something taken seriously by the entire population? food for thought...
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
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 peecalculus.
