A portmanteau of the words VOTE and DONATE, used to describe the process of voting in a Gitcoin Quadratic funding round. In a QF round, you can VOTE for public goods projects you believe deserve to be funded by DONATING as little as $1 to them. (This eliminates most SPAM and vote-botting, and also sets a minimum bar of conviction.) Your pledge is then matched by larger corporate and organizational donors using an algorithm that rewards breadth of support over individual donations. In other words, a $1 VONATION can result in many times that amount of funding being provided to organizations who need it.
If you would like to support our initiative of organizing community beach cleanups in Honduras, please vonate to our project on grants.gitcoin.co today.

The sweetest guy there is. He won't judge you or express his thoughts on how idiotic you are, he accepts you for you. An intelligent person, though he rarely shows it, a quiet person, though he can be very strange and weird at the same time. He will do anything to make someone smile when they're upset and often has people flocking around him, even if he denies it, people love him. Because he is a mature, and just an all around good person, he will not "break the bro code" or do something to another guy's girl. Honestly the best of the best even if he doesn't know it.
Chick: hi.
D'vante: <_<
Chick: >_>
D'vante: <_<

Chick: you're so weird but I <3 you.

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.
