Dominator Culture

A model of culture and human relations based on hierarchy, ranking, power, and control. Masculinity is equated with control, conquest, and violence: men dominating women and children.

Opposite to Partnership Culture.

In a domination system...

Humans are flawed and dangerous.

Difference is equated with superiority or inferiority.

Power is used to control and destroy through hierarchies of domination.

Competition means "dog eat dog"; "every man for himself".

People cooperate to dominate others.

Huge gaps between haves and have-nots

Nature is a resource to be dominated, depleted and polluted.

Morality of insensitivity, control, and coercion.

(Based on the Center for Partnership Studies' summary of points from Riane Eisler's _The Power of Partnership_ and David Korten's _The Great Turning_)
Dominator culture teaches all of us that the core of our identity is defined by the will to dominate and control others. We are taught that this will to dominate is more biologically hardwired in males than in females. In actuality, dominator culture teaches us that we are all natural-born killers but that males are more able to realize the predator role. In the dominator model the pursuit of external power, the ability to manipulate and control others, is what matters most. When culture is based on a dominator model, not only will it be violent but it will frame all relationships as power struggles.

Eliminator 

The signature cocktail of the infamous Kelsey's bar, Leamington Spa. It's full name is 'the redbull eliminator' although due to cutbacks, it no longer contains the well known (expensive?) energy drink redbull.

It is currently only available in 4 pint pitchers at about £9.50, and easily recognisable by it's eerie, unnatural green colour. It might be translucent or opaque depending on the skill of the bar staff on duty and availability of the ingredients at the ungodly hour you decide to order one.

Ingredients:
4-6 shots (straight from the top shelf, mainly shitty cheap-yet-strong vodka)
2-3 cans of 'kick' (or whatever cheap energy drink happens to be available)
A pint of wine (actually it was lambrini, until an even cheaper alternative called lambrusco or something was found... guess the recession's Kelsey's pretty hard)
Topped up to the 4pint mark with fruit juice (mainly nasty orange juice straight from the costcutters round the corner)

Basically the ideal drink if you're stuck in Kelsey's during the early hours, wondering where the night/your life went wrong, when suddenly the idea hits you: 'I wonder if I can get absolutely fucked off my face for around a tenner?'

That said, it does actually taste pretty good.
Bon appetit!
A: Fancy getting trashed with me tonight?
B: Yeah, go on then
A: Shall we split a jug of eliminator?
B: *sigh* go on then...

**about 3pm the next day**

B: Yeah mate, I just chundered, everywhere!
A: Eliminator was a bad choice!

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.
