imperfect 

Reality... The under-valued quirkiness that makes us uniquely awesome... The little parts of someone or something that the right person can see... And appreciate... And want... For they do not fit the mould or the majority, but they are the right fit where it counts. For the right people, imperfection is perfection.
Others see it as imperfect... And that makes it all the more perfect to me

It implies that other emotions or positive aspects have been exhausted or overshadowed, leaving behind only a sense of negativity and animosity that is not fully formed or satisfying, suggesting a state of bitterness, resentment, or hostility that lacks intensity or completeness. The phrase seems to convey a sense of despair or bleakness in the situation it describes.

This Time Imperfect 

One of two hidden tracks from AFI's "...But Home Is Nowhere," along with "The Spoken Word," which is a poem. Lyrics:
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay.
Forever haunted more than afraid.
Asphyxiate on words I would say.
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.

There are no flowers, no, not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this hurts me.

I cannot stay here, I cannot leave.
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe.
Imagined heart, I disappear, seems
No-one will appear here and make me real.

There are no flowers, no, not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this hurts me.

I'd tell you how it haunts me,
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
(Cuts through my day, and sinks into my dreams)
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
(Cuts through my day, and sinks into my dreams)
You don't care that it haunts me.

Oh,
There are no flowers, no, not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this hurts me,
Just how much this hurts me,
Just how much you...

AFI truly created a masterpiece in This Time Imperfect, as well as ...But Home is Nowhere and The Spoken Word.

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.
