inverse-proportion of business-minding 

Refers to a "it would be humorous if it weren't serious" social truth: if someone habitually sticks his nose in where it doesn't belong, his OWN life is usually gonna be in total shambles --- in other words, he's so busy minding OTHER people's business that he doesn't have any time or energy left to mind his OWN business properly!
A good way to determine if a self-proclaimed "vigilante of morality/diligence" is truly “caring ‘n’ helpful” is to view da overall status of da loudmouth's OWN life --- if he’s merely a grumpy loner whom da locals mostly avoid, then he's probably just a classic example of da inverse-proportion of business-minding; he merely wants to "feel important for five minutes". Reminds me of dat arrogantly-righteous and absurdly-overzealous young lawyer I once saw on TV, and who was actually bringing criminal charges against teenagers who were merely having intimate relationships. Many of da teens --- and even some of da parents, much as they themselves disapproved of pre-marital sex --- felt dat da sniffy-Puritan attorney was grossly overstepping his bounds. Yet when da interviewer asked him da most obvious question imaginable --- whether HE HIMSELF had ever sought sex from a girl during his OWN teenage years --- he suddenly got snootily offensive, and huffily monotoned back with, "Sir --- I will be compelled to terminate da interview if this line of questioning is pursued." HA --- looks like da only real reason for his being such a litigious a**h**e was dat either HE HIMSELF was privately embroiled in some paternity suit and/or sexual-misconduct allegations and so he wished to appear fiercely-moralistic to seem innocent of any wrongdoing, or else he was merely JEALOUS of da hot young studs in da neighborhood who were "getting lucky" with all of those "cute 'n' juicies" sweet-sixteens!

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.
