I can't exactly claim to be a vegan because I do eat a little organic meat sometimes to boost my iron levels. I guess I'm a fleegan?

Freegans will eat any food product as long as it’s free. Some freegans do this because they don’t want to give money to food producers who harm animals, the environment, or workers. Other freegans simply believe that all the best things in life are free, and that free food from a friend is the next best thing to food freely given by the earth.
Someone is Freegan leaning if their preferred dietary option is free food.

Freegan Leaning 

A person who is Freegan Leaning identifies as someone who likes free food. A Freegan Leaning person is a true pragmatist and has achieved a level of spiritual attainment. A Freegan Leaning person believes that the best thing is food given freely by the earth, but free food from a friend is the next best thing. Freegan Leaning people also don’t mind working for a meal, because if you don’t work you won’t eat, and if nobody works nobody eats. Freegan Leaning people keep in the fronts of their minds because of long experience, that free food tastes the best :) .
My younger cousin’s excitable, boisterous, Labrador Retriever was a highly accomplished Freegan Leaning dog. The dog took to food of any kind with gusto. Free food dropped during the Fourth of July was clearly his favorite. However he was more than willing to work for a meal and sit, roll over, or bark for a well earned treat. Accomplished Freegan Leaning dogs like Vinny have clearly earned new lives in a paradise realm.

Many people are unaware of their Freegan Leaning tendencies. Most people don’t bother to think about how good free food tastes, if they did, they might achieve the first level of Freegan Leaning awareness.

Somebody who abstains from contributing to the economy and salvages society's wasted food and resources rather than purchase more themselves. Often pertains to a VEGAN (somebody who doesn't eat/wear animal products) who only makes exceptions when dealing with otherwise wasted items.
Tom taught me that as a freegan, he would much rather grab bagels out of the dumpster of a bakery instead of purchasing them himself, because he thinks it's a shame how much perfectly good bread places like that waste everyday.

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.
