parenthetical whore

someone who litters his writing with parenthetical information (information inside parentheses, be it a side note, background info, or explanation much like this one)
I hate when writers provide us with their each and every thought in parenthetical form, to the extent that the inner-parentheses word count is higher than the actual text! Parenthetical whores!

Paesthetic 

Paesthetic means Pastel and Aesthetic in one word.

Parenthetical 

Extra details inserted into a sentence (spoken or written). Usually the details are just relevant enough to be included, even though everything would be perfectly clear (though possibly less interesting) without them.
Everything in (parethesis) is a parenthetical, for example: "I have no regrets, thank God (and praise Satan)."

Paleotheism

Paleotheism is the spiritual or metaphysical belief that affirms that God or the gods are frequencies—vibrational or informational patterns—that exist within and outside of space-time. For its adherents, these frequencies are eternal, omnipresent, and constitute the basis of the universe and what lies beyond it.
Example: In paleotheism, divinity is not seen as a person, but as a primordial frequency that sustains all reality.

Modern doctrine that interprets reality as the result of the interaction of primordial divine frequencies, from which matter, space, time, and all forms of existence arise.
Example: According to sykhnotheism, the Big Bang would only be a phase shift in an eternal frequency, not the absolute beginning.

Term used by groups or individuals who see spirituality as a process of tuning into these fundamental frequencies, often through meditative, sound, or vibrational practices.
Paleotheism (also called Sykhnotheism or Frequency Theism) is the belief that the divine—whether God or multiple gods—is not a physical or spiritual being, but rather a set of eternal frequencies, fundamental vibrations that exist within and outside of space-time.

For the paleotheist, these frequencies are in everything, here and now, and are the basis of the universe, matter, the laws of physics, and even what exists beyond the cosmos itself. They are seen as primordial patterns that have always existed and will always exist.

Paleotheism understands spirituality as a way of tuning into these divine frequencies, whether through meditation, sounds, music, introspection, or intuitive perception of the "vibration" of reality.

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.
