Galvanistic 

galvanism is the concept, uh, the obsolete scientific theory that there is a kind of electricity flowing through our bloodstreams
And that was our life force
I used the term because I came across it in, uh, Mary Shelley's, uh, "Frankenstein"
And that book is sort of an exploration of the theme of creating a character, of making up a person
So I used the term "galvanistic" to allude to that book as a sort of a symbol of how I like, created you as a character
I'm pretending that I know a lot more about you than I actually do
And also to refer to the fact that I've fall—fallen in love with the characters you've created in, uh, your body of work
You galvanistic young boy
You galvanistic young man
You galvanistic young inhuman
You understand

CALA BOCA GALVAO 

Latest sensation topic on Twitter. Believed by most world to be related to some kind of (inexistent) bird, and even to some new Lady Gaga's song. Its, in fact, the biggest inside joke of all time, by Brazil.

CALA BOCA means SHUT UP. Period.

GALVAO is referred to Galvão Bueno, a sports narrator from Brazil. Really annoying guy. CALA BOCA GALVAO!
Person 1: Hey man, each tweet containing CALA BOCA GALVAO donates some cents to a birds foundation, to save them. I'm doing it a LOT!

Person 2: Are you stupid? Brazil made the whole world look like fools.

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.
