DEMONSTRATION by YSLMJ September 30, 2021
demonstration
A term that lumps "political demonstration" (protest) and "showing something new that the audiences have never seen before" together within this same term. It reflects both the act of showing dissent and the act of showcasing innovations or ideas to an audience.
The tech fair was a demonstration of groundbreaking inventions, but the protests outside turned it into a political demonstration about corporate ethics.

Demonstration of Self-Ownership
Ok. So, let's say I don't own myself: Bring me your kid and a loaded gun... And then tell me not to shoot it in the head. If you truly own me I won't be able to pull the trigger....

Baker Demonstration School
A private school in Illinois that really should be in Evanston but is in Wilmette. Most people think it's a snotty school because of the money, but it's actually full of (somewhat) nice people, despite the incredibly tiny population. A great elementary program, by the time you're in middle school you're ready to get the hell out and move on to a public high school - but you had a lot of fun in middle school despite it being...well, middle school. Overall, a really solid school.

Law of Demonstration
The law of demonstration is a subset of Murphy’s law and works in two ways. A functioning process will not work when demonstrated, but a broken process will work perfectly. E.g. when trying to show IT an issue your computer is having, the issue will not occur.
“I was walking a colleague through a new process I created yesterday, but it just wouldn’t work. When I ran it by myself later, it was just fine!”
“Ah, you ran into the law of demonstration states”

Boffin
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.

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.
