Timethief 

An annoying internet Troll who hides behind many anonymous fake avatars, otherwise known as the invisible copy & paste buffoon. She seems to think everyone else is wrong and she alone is right but first she has to run a Google search so she doesn't sound like she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. After all she has to keep face in the community. Definitely an old dried up wrinkled faced woman, who's days of youth are gone and now waste her time trying to compete with women half her age. Just randomly name any country in the world and she'll tell you she visited or vacationed there too. Yet everyone already realizes she doesn't know shit.

timethief 

From sales: Someone who will call, email, text, and then call again to determine the parameters of your product or service, only to pick it apart, find the problems and challenges with it, and even go as far as find online complaints about you, your product, or your service...all the while never really intending to close real business with you.

This individual will likely want to schedule conference calls, meetings, or other circle jerk media to ensure even MORE of their friends can hear or see you flop around on the pier like a fish out of water.

Best strategy - DELETE BUTTON!!!
"Hey Tim - Mrs. Jones just called..." "Yeah - I know - she's a total timethief"

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
