Clarke’s Third Law is probably the best known and most widely cited of the three and states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Just as an aside the others are:
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

As far as that Malcolm is concerned just about any technology conforms to Clarke’s Third Law.

Thomas Clarkson Academy

Thomas Clarkson Academy (abbreviated to TCA) is a shithole "school" located in Wisbech and is known for its insane teachers, sub-human students and many, many chavs.

The school is widely known for its 'incidents' such as students overdosing, coming in high, vandalism, cyberbullying and even at one point, murder.

As of writing the school has somehow achieved a 'Good' rating from Ofsted. With the principal, Richard Scott running the school*, it is an absolute mystery as to how the school achieved this.

Anyone in the area is highly recommended to avoid the building itself and anyone wearing blazers with the logo, or the green, blue or yellow ties worn by students

*by running, we mean watching over the balconies, noncing on year 7 girls and accusing random kids of smoking in the toilets.

"Hey did you hear about what happened at Thomas Clarkson Academy?"

"No, what happened?"

"Some crazy teacher flipped a table because of a girls makeup."

"Really? Jesus Christ..."

fache-couture

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

1. That Burberry scarf is so fache-couture.
2. That purple American Apparel hoodie is so fache-couture.

Glippy

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.

“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
