n. Rural farmstead, hamlet or bog inhabited by an anarchistic group of flower-people seeking to escape the usual confining bonds of humanity's fettered existence.

Commune-Based Democracy

Essentially synonymous with Communal Democracy, emphasizing the commune as the foundational cell. The term often carries a stronger connotation of the commune being an integrated social and economic unit, not just a political one, practicing collective ownership and mutual aid internally.
Example: The theoretical vision of Murray Bookchin’s Communalism or Libertarian Municipalism advocates for a Commune-Based Democracy. Neighborhood assemblies would form the base, federating into confederations to manage regional affairs, replacing the state with a networked system of directly democratic, ecological communes.

Commune-Based Society

A specific, radical form of community-based society where the commune is not just a social unit but a fully integrated political and economic entity. In this model, the commune collectively owns and manages all property and means of production within its territory. Work is organized communally, resources are distributed based on need, and all members participate in direct democratic decision-making. Society is a voluntary federation of such self-sufficient, egalitarian communes. It is the structural goal of many anarcho-communists and utopian socialists, rejecting both the market and the state.
*Example: The theoretical endpoint of a Commune-Based Society is often illustrated by the short-lived Paris Commune of 1871, which aimed to turn Paris into such a collective entity. A modern small-scale example is the Twin Oaks Intentional Community in Virginia, which operates as a secular, income-sharing commune, though it exists within a larger capitalist state rather than as a federated societal model.*

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.
