Ratcheteer 

Noun.

A connoisseur of ratchet women, especially those pulled from nightclubs after last call. The ratcheteer's natural mating call is Rihanna's Talk That Talk which he requests from the DJ or sits in the parking lot banging from his car. The Ratcheteer has a specialized mating dance, similar to a body roll, used to signal ratchets that he is in heat. He is especially adept at disposing of evidence in parking lots.

Once a ratcheteer has identified and brought his ratchet back from the club for an "afterparty" he seeks out four specific environments for mating:

1. A living room full of partygoers
2. A public balcony
3. Someones kitchen
4. An air mattress

The ratcheteer typically will have no recollection of the previous evening as they will sleep until noon the next day. They will only find out about their behavior once on word spreads of their ratchetry on social media websites. Ratcheteers will spend all Monday at work on Facebook deleting evidence so close friends and family do not discover their ratchetness.
Q. What time is it?
A. 1:57 AM.

Q. Did you see that guy parking lot creepin' on those ratchets?
A. Yes, he promised them soda and nuggets at his afterpary.

Q. He should be put on probation for ratcheteering son.
A. Fo sho. bboy.

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.
