Le guillotine de la porte 

The fear that one may lose a body part due to any kind of door that is perceived to be closing too quickly. The phrase is said to have originated from 18th century survivors of the French Revolution who passed their remaining days in a kind of post traumatic stress disorder and obsessing about sharp quickly closing things.
"Johnny get your hand back into this elevator, the door is about to close!"

"Mom, it is just an elevator door."

"Yeah that's what you said about the bus door this morning."

"Mom I think you have le guillotine de la porte and the stories you hear are just urban legends."

"Just get your hand out of the door."

Black Widow of La Porte 

A song made by John 5 that appears in Gutar Hero Warriors of Rock. This song puts Drangforce to shame. A side note to Dragon force is every song is the freakin' same. It is the hardest damn song since Through the Fire and Flames . It literally is impossible on expert uless you have no fail on or extra apendages or the ability to slow time or move at hyper speed or have Sonic the Hedgehog by your side pressing the buttons. It has an achievment called 'mutilator of hands'. This song may cause spasms, arthritus, insanity, death of arm and nerves. Even on beginner the song is hard and it gets harder still. I shockingly manged to five star the song but don't go 4 the sixth star cause... IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! Not even Chuck Norris couldn't do this song. He tried and failed then roundhouse kicked the TV, guitar, system, and John 5.
Jay:Why is James missing arm/
Jen:He played Black Widow of La Porte all night and killed his nerves and blood vesles in his arm and had to get it cut off.
Jay:I'm never playing that song again.
Jen:Now you're smart?

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.
