Get the feeyn mug.The method used by Richard Feynman to turn the more complicated concepts of nature into common knowledge for the average layman.
Being "Feynmanesque" when describing the atom:
"If an apple was magnified to the size of the Earth, then the atoms in the apple would be approximately the size of the original apple." - Richard Feynman
"Ahh, that makes things clear now." -Layman

Get the Feynmanesque mug.Richard Phillips Feynman (pronounced Fine-Muhn) (1918-1988) was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and particle physics. Feynman attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for his undergraduate studies, Princeton University for his doctoral degree, and later the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for his research and as a professor. Feynman assisted in the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb and worked with Oppenheimer as well as many other great scientific minds. Feynman was a member of the Rogers Commission which investigated the 1986 Challenger Disaster. Although he is regarded as one of the greatest physicists of all time, he was not your typical genius. An example of this was when during his undergraduate studies at MIT, he stole the door to the room where a group of obnoxious know it all students would study. "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character)" is a collection of memories from his life, and should be read by anyone who has ever walked into a physics class. In layman's terms, Feynman was the epitome of an intellectual badass.
Alec: "What'cha reading Daniel?"
Daniel: "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!"
Alec: "What's that about?"
Daniel: "The life of Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of all time."
Alec: "Oh yeah! I remember that guy. He showed how superfluid helium worked and embarrassed liquid helium scientists even when they tried using Feynman diagrams to try and explain how the wave functions of helium atoms behave."
Daniel: "Yup, Feynman was an intellectual badass."

Get the Richard Feynman mug.I was halfway finished with a slow, peaceful slam in stall #3, when all of the sudden I feesneezed and the brown torpedo was fired rather quickly.

Get the Feesneeze mug.Is a term used to describe someone unwilling to quit or give up, even at the risk of one's own safety, sanity or life.
Only a Paul Feeney would walk across that burning broken glass on the edge of a cliff to save that half-dead, run over puppy from that hungry lion's mouth.
You'd have to be a Paul Feeney to think anything can be done and not just give up already like most mortal men.

Get the Paul Feeney mug.phrase invented by a mouldy man called max from T-side and bout other 20 places, hardcore buzzer who headkicks anyone that gives him cheek, also denies his doing well in tests, he really is a true GAS FEEN
when someone does something vaguely funny, a jiver will then shout 'gas feen gas feen' or 'gas boii gas boii', it may also be sarcasm, it is now catching on as a common phrase in galway cos maxim influences everyone cos he is well hard
