ROSI (R.O.S.I.) 

Return On Social Investment

- A ratio which can be approximated by the following formula:

Benevolence or good deeds by others towards you and/or your own positive emotions caused by your positive actions towards others

/ (DIVIDED BY)
your own benevolence/good deeds towards others

- Ideally your personal ROI-ratio should be around 1 or above.
(Love is the only thing that grows, if you spread it, remember=)

---

How a person measures/thinks about this ratio will differ widely. A very altruistic person that gives a lot towards others "without the need to get anything back in return" still may get back a lot - simply in the form of positive emotions/feelings/praise, etc.
NOTA BENE:
If your respectful interaction with a person/group results for you in more negative than positive reactions from their part, then cancel contact.
...Dooh: I guess you knew that already, right?

- A"pseudo-sociopsychological" term that I came up with some time ago. Recently someone left my life for all the wrong reasons. My neighourhood seems to go down the drain. And yesterday I gave shelter to a self-proclaimed homeless stranger for one night (in a seperate room:). This Person robbed me. Now it was time to put this down in writing.

to put it in a nutshell:
BE NICE AND GET HAPPY! - BUT KEEP SAFE AND SANE!
Qiu:
Aww, dude - Remember how the ROSI ROSI (R.O.S.I.) with my girlfriend had been getting worse and worse lately? I really tried to fix it. And now she broke up with me and said that I was funny, had a good heart and all... but that she was looking for more security. I don't understand, man!??

Didi: Security my ass!! For some people security is just a euphemism for the dolla! Don't worry - she wasn't that fresh anyway. You'll get better love and ROSI somewhere else!

Qiu: Thanks, man, I love you bro! Time with you is always well invested.

Calculation example:

A is looking for an affordable flat downtwon. Aunty X of A makes one phone call to an acquaintance she knows, although she knows that person holds a grudge against her because of reason Z. The phone call is therefore difficult, but her niece A gets to see and rent a flat she likes soone thereafter

IN RELATION TO

A had called her aunt several times a week when she was in hospital for cancer treatment and felt sad and lonely.
(NOTA BENE: A had done this at the time without the prospects of getting something in return! Aight?

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.
