Lennart Poettering

A somewhat well-known author of surreal horror fiction from Germany, Lennart Poettering is mostly known for writing overly long and confusing works such as Pulsations of Autophilia (a tragedy about a sluggish autistic teenager who is murdered while fucking his uncle's Porsche and comes back as a ghost to seek vengeance) and Systems Down (about a server administrator who finds himself locked in the server room after closing time with a horrible, memory-corrupting abomination).
I picked up this new book at Barnes and Noble, but it says that Lennart Poettering is required reading so I'm taking it back.
Something you do when you talk rubbish with no particular reason, meaning or audience.

You wittering idiot.

e-pottering 

The act of accidentally squandering several hours (or days) on your computer while not doing anything in particular. e.g., YouTubing “just one more” vid, re-filing mp3s, looking up friends of friends of friends on Facebook, wading through MySpace band requests, Tweeting randoms, browsing for the definition of your own name on the Urban Dictionary etc...

The activity distorts the time perception of the e-potterer in such a way that an apparent 1 min of e-pottering time equates to roughly 1.5 Standard Earth Hours (as perceived by partners, friends, family and the fascist time police at your place of work).
Dude 1 - Bro, you look knackered today were you out late partying?

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.
