monty pythonesque application of the principles of logic and etymology 

The standard logic used by such people as the knights of the round table. It's sound logic that can only be understood by men of science.

E.g. You want to test if a woman is a witch. You burn witches, but you also burn wood. This means witches burn because they are made of wood. Wood also floats in water, just like a duck. So therefore, if she weighs the same as a duck, then she is made out of wood, and is therefore a witch. Now you must weigh her on a set of large scales with a duck, and if they weigh the same, she is guilty of being a witch.
Well, Bernard, that is some Monty Pythonesque application of the principles of logic and etymology right there!

AP Computer Science Principles 

A completely useless class that was created basically so that the College Board can earn an extra buck. The class has not been accepted by any popular colleges or universities currently, as the class is completely based off of logic puzzles and nothing useful. AP Computer Science Principles does not have any learning base within it, since literally all of the practice questions can be answered by someone with no coding experience whatsoever. Basically, if you want a completely unenriching, free, and pointless hour tacked on to your schedule, then sign up for this class.
John- "Only half the kids killed themselves in AP Computer Science Principles today!"
Billy- "What!?! Only half!?!"

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
