jihad by krupa May 26, 2004
Jihad is often translated as "Holy War", although a closer translation from its arabic origins is "struggle towards good", whether that means internal strife or fighting against those who attempt to destroy Islam.

Also note, the word Jihad does not mean to kill infidels as is often said by racist fatherless children ie-bastards, but rather defend Islam against those who wish to destroy it. Islam does not say to conquer the world and enslave or kill all infidels.

jihad by rasul July 4, 2004
probably the most misconceived arabic word in existence. it means to work hard and be just, despite obstacles and difficulties. it is the holy war within oneself, the struggle to be a righteous, good human who treats everyone with love and respect, despite the difficulties of everyday life. it does NOT mean blowing oneself up in the name of god. that is done by twisted lunatics who do not know what Islam really is.
in life, it is a jihad to be patient and kind when people are cruel to you.
jihad by lightoftheuniverse October 31, 2017
A controversial Islamic practice which, contrary to popular belief, does not strictly refer to holy war, but taken literally means “to struggle”. In the Qu’ran it refers to an internal struggle inside everyone between the desire to enjoy the pleasures of this world, or to seek God’s will. When an Islamic cleric declares “It is the duty of all true Muslims to wage Jihad against the infidel”, what he most often means is “it is the duty of all true Muslims to struggle against the ways, practices, ethics and morals of the infidel”. In modern times this usually means that Muslim youth need to struggle against the West’s commercialization and perversion of certain subjects, such as sex for example. They’re calling they’re followers to boycott Western movies that show and promote indecent exposure, to boycott CD’s which promote and un-Islamic way of life, (usually gangsta rap, rock and roll and pop) and they encourage their ladies to wear the hajaff or beka out of modesty and so as not to lead Muslim gentlemen into temptation and impure thoughts.
"It is the duty of all true Muslims to wage jihad against the infidels."

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.
