Since we knew that Ween was in town, we took bets on whether or not he would veel our party.

Veel, John, and Sony
1) A gorgeous yet bitchy creature that has the power to seduce any man, but will throw balls of fire at you if you piss one off. Mentioned in Harry Potter.

2)The Veela is also a very close relative of humans, but with interesting powers. Veelas are universally female, exceptionally beautiful, and can exert a strong grip over human males with their brand of sensual dancing. Any males watching will instantly be overcome with a desire to watch them and impress them with some great heroic feat. Even when they are not dancing, the Veela carries a certain aura which is deeply inspiring to men. The effect seems to wear off a little with age, as Arthur Weasley was able to resist the charm of the Veelas’ dance at the Quidditch World Cup, whereas Harry and Ron were about to leap on them.

(Noun, both singular and plural.) A veela is a mythological creature from Slavic origin, also sometimes written as Vila. They're very similar to Sirens. A Veela is a very attractive female creature, often depicted with long, silvery hair, who is able to enchant anyone who feels attracted to girls, with her striking beauty, angelic singing voice and elegant moves. Most sources describe her as a water creature

When a Veela gets angry, she transforms into an ugly monster-like mix between a bird and a humanoid. She grows a sharp bird beak and monstrous wings, and will throw fireballs.

Most sources say Veela were always female, although there are some sources that say male Veela did exist, but had less powerful enchanting powers. Some sources say Veela are born from souls of women with great heartbreak.

Veela make an appearance in Harry Potter, in which they are land creatures. Fleur Delacourt was half-Veela.
The sailors felt so enchanted by the beautiful, mesmerising singing coming from the ocean, that they completely ignored their captain's orders and steered the ship right into the Veela's trap.

The word Veela originates from the Harry Potter series.
A veela is a girl that you cannot get out of your mind, or a girl that you have obsessed over for a long period of time. A great majority of the time they are completely out of reach from you, but no matter what they do (even the most innocent acts) can make you crave them.
Even though she got married 4 years ago, I'd ruin that marriage! She's definitely my veela.

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.
