poser punk 

People who think that they are punks but are really just trying to be. The mistake they make is to try to become a punk. Punks are all about not trying to be anything and following your own rules. there is no fashion code to being a punk. there are no rules as to what bands you have to listen to. GC and Simple Plan are ruining Punk because they are posers. One popular band comes out that wears black trenchcoats and spiky hair and nail polish and tatoos come out, and people assume they are punks. these bands are mis-representing themselves and the punk community. people are getting the wrong idea of what punk is.
poser punk: shops at hot topic, wears label shirts;vans, ae,etc. follows any hint of a fashion trend, wears a shirt that says punk on it, thinks all punk is about is breaking rules and acting badass.
real punk: someone true to who they are, who doesn't take any crap from anyone, who recognizes the flaws of society, who isn't afraid to be unique and wouldn't be caught dead being called a label.

poser punk 

This is the REAL definition of a poser punk: One who is overly insecure and believes that being a punk has rules. Some may secretly LOVE Green Day and Good Charlotte but they hide it because they are afraid to be labeled as a poser. Others may just completely avoid those bands for this reason. They commonly try to be better than every one else, they criticise Casualties fans because other people do. They completely violate the idea of freedom in punk, They only listen to punk rock. They dont listen to any other genre, unless secretly of course. They are MAJOR hypocrites in just about everything they do.
They claim to be themselves but at the same time they follow the crowd by dissing on "emo". They are too insecure to buy clothes from Hot Topic. They are complete assholes and will criticise you if you spell "punks" like "punx". They will beat the shit out of you if you refuse to drink. If you like SLC punk they will automatically assume that you base your life off of it. If you are wearing normal people clothes they will consider you a poser. In short, they are the worlds biggest pussies and they go against the one thing that punk stands for: thinking for yourself.
Me: Dude, Bauhaus is a fucking great band. So is Katy Perry, she's got some great songs out there!

Me: Dude you are closed minded, punk basically has no rules.
Poser punk: punches me in the face
Me: laughs

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.
