shamanista 

A white woman who claims to be a shaman but is actually only cosplaying as one. She’s happy to culturally appropriate anything if it serves her purposes, which are to make money from her minions. She’s dangerous because she pretends to be about healing but in actuality is about something much more selfish and dark, and doesn’t have a genuine clue of how to actually help people. She likes attention and money. Beware the shamanista.
“I went to her workshop about energy and boundaries. Turns out it was all bullshit, she’s nothing but a shamanista”.

shamanista 

A middle aged white woman who culturally appropriates the teachings of South American healers and cosplays as a shaman. Her larping includes putting on “workshops” for other ninnies who give her money to listen to her new age nonsense and buy/read her nonsensical books full of grammatical errors and typos. She pretends to be about healing but is really about something much darker and more selfish. She craves attention and veneration from wing nuts and happily takes whatever resources she can get from them. Beware the shamanista.

A mode of dealing with the spirit world through the agency of an individual set apart as spirit possessed and specially equipped to deal with superhuman forces. The term Shaman is generically applied to healers, exorcists, sorcerers, magicians, etc.
A practitioner of Shamanism is a Shaman. Shamans gain knowledge and the power to heal by entering into the spiritual world or dimension. The shaman may have, or acquire many spirit guides in the spirit world, these often guide and direct the shaman in his/her travels. These spirit guides are always present within the shaman though others only encounter them when the shaman is in a trance. The spirit guide energizes the shaman, enabling him/her to enter the spiritual dimension. The shaman heals within the spiritual dimension by returning 'lost' parts of the human soul from wherever they have gone. The shaman also cleanses excess negative energies which confuse or pollute the soul. Shaman act as "mediators" in their culture. The shaman communicates with the spirits on behalf of the community, including the spirits of the deceased. The shaman communicates with both living and dead to alleviate unrest, unsettled issues, and to deliver gifts to the spirits. Often, unsettled issues can be resolved with money. Paper money can be burnt to transfer its value to the spirits.

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.
