goblincore 

Goblincore is an aesthetic which seems to have originated on Tumblr, as a twist on ‘dragoncore’. While both dragoncore and goblincore seem to focus on collections (or hoards), goblincore leans into the grimier, grittier, and just more generally cluttered look. Goblincore celebrates not just flawless gems, dazzling metals, and meticulously kept treasuries, but also damaged coins, cool rocks, bits of scrap metal, maybe even beads, bugs, and buttons.

If you have a disordered, unlabeled collection of rocks, shells, buttons, or trinkets (or all the above), goblincore might be the aesthetic for you. Some call it hoarding, but we call it ‘collecting’.
“Wow, Dan sure does have a lot of shit. When did he get so many bits of sea glass? And is that just a pile of shells?”
“Yeah, he found a goblincore blog on tumblr and just kinda lost himself in it.”

goblin core 

It’s an aesthetic, like cottage core but more, chaotic. Some would call someone with this aesthetic a ‘hoarder’ but to us it’s just collecting, we collect anything that gives us joy wich can be shells, buttons, mushrooms, bugs, trinkets and other things others would call trash. “one mans trash is another’s treasure”. The fashion is usually oversized ugly sweaters ,corduroy pants and boots. This aesthetic also contains a love for frogs and bugs.
person 1: why is that person running around looking for mushrooms?
person 2: It’s for the AeStHiC, ever heard of the qUiRkY gremlin core bitches?

(i’m goblin core , sorry if that was rude it was only a joke)

Goblincob 

Goblincob is a supreme being. To be referred to as a Goblincob is the same as being refered to as a God.
Goblincob (as depicted in the Bible of Christ) is married to Roshan (the Ice Age baby) and they liberate the world of all impurity and sin together. They go on to live inside Manny (the mammoth) as parasiyes, inevitably eating him from the inside out.
"Everyone gangsta until BOOM!! Goblincob."

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.
