New book smell 

That certain smell you sense from purchasing a new book. New book smells usually come from the woodsy pulp of the paper.

I would describe it to smell like a bitter fireplace. The smell is usually very satisfying to avid book readers (especially me)
Person 1: Hey I just bought this new book from Amazon dude!!

Person 2: Wow bro, does it have that new book smell?

Person 1: Yeah dude, wanna smell?

Person 2: Hell Yeah!

The optimal Spellbook/Dogmatika deck turn 1 board 

See... The situation we find ourselves in now is akin to this ☝️
Iam "The optimal Spellbook/Dogmatika deck turn 1 board consists of the cards: Secret Village of Spellcasters, Jowgan the Spiritualist, and Dogmatika Punishment. As long as Secret Village of Spellcasters is on the field, only the owner of the card is allowed to use spell cards (so long as they possess a Spellcaster monster on the field). Jowgan the Spiritualist prevents special summoning. And Dogmatika punishment will destroy a face up monster. It creates a situation where your opponent has no choice but to use their 1 normal summon on a monster that will inevitably be destroyed by Dogmatika Punishment and/or set a monster. This board almost always guarantees a turn 3 and shuts down spell heavy decks or decks that rely heavily on link/synchro climbing or special summoning. Ideally you will Spellbook climb into Jowgan so summon it in defense position. It's a fun deck that results in only 1 player being able to play Yugioh."

Hym "And that's like THIS! It's the same thing! What's happening right now?"

The Smell of Old Books 

This term is used by a category of people who have the best interest at heart but are terribly pretentious. They usually like to use it to show you how much they love to read. These people also like to say that they enjoy Fall, because it is perfect "sweater weather" and they can curl up on the couch and read whilst drinking herbal tea. Favorite movies of this category include "Rent" and "Across the Universe." Favorite music includes light alternative rock and classical. These people can sometimes be mistaken for "hipsters", but they are not because they neither smoke nor drink. You can often spot these people at museums of modern art quietly discussing the deeper meaning of a hammer glued to a toilet with pink water. These people also enjoy having deep conversations, which help them to show off their vast knowledge. They also love Jane Austen novels. These people are usually females who are often mistaken for lesbians due to their disinterest in sexual relationships until age 30. These people dream of attending college in Cambridge or Oxford due to their lifelong love of anything English.

Lucy: Yes, it is. I REALLY feel like some Chai tea.
Jim: Yes, sounds lovely.

trucker's tan

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.
