A heavy-weight memory-intensive high-level slow language which is the latest "hype", even though severs using Node.JS are notorious for their lag spikes due to random stop-the-world garbage collection.

Whoever the fuck says Node.JS is "lightweight" is retarded. Hello world for C linked to musl commits 4kb of RAM and takes 0ms to run. Hello world with NodeJS 14 commits 34MB of RAM and takes 397ms to run.
Node.JS is a sick old dog. Let's put it out of its misery and get a young puppy named Go.

Stick Nodes 

A stickfigure animation program designed for mobile devices, created in that year no one remembers of 2014.

Made for beginners to learn, well.. animation. And when they move to any other software to animate they're basically fucked because they don't know how to actually draw their material and animate it like everyone else does.

As such, a beginner software attracts many children, and if you animate on Stick Nodes older than 20 what the fuck are you doing with your life?

Which is why everyone in the Stick Figure community thinks they're noobs because children don't exactly have the best sense in a discord server when bragging about the edgy demon scarf wearing oc with a backstory that makes Batman look like James Cordon. Also, the teens on Stick Nodes are usually assholes.

So, advice, don't join a Stick Nodes discord server they're toxic as fuck
"Wait bro, you animate on Stick Nodes?"

"Yeah"

"Ew cringe"

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.
