over compensator 

A man who tries way too hard to feel better about having a small penis. Usually seen trying to impress women with cars, cash, clothes, or a macho attitude. This showing off helps them to think that people dont know about the small johnson. Most often, over compensators have no actual personality or character. Usually loners that hide the fact that they really want to kill themselves because of their tiny penises.
Tom Brady is a totally perfect example of an over compensator.

Compensated Dating 

Translated from the Japanese word, 「援助交際 」or "Enjo-kōsai." Compensated Dating is a term used to describe young women going on dates with older men in exchange for money or gifts. These dates often end in sexual activities. It is a form of prostitution, however most women who participate in Enjo-kōsai do not view themselves as prostitutes.

Although this term originated in Japan, compensated dating has spread to other East Asian countries and has even stretched to the USA under the phrases sugar daddy and sugar baby.

See enjo kosai.

Friend B: What does it matter? These older men are giving me a shit ton of money.

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.
