Instagram Urban Explorer 

A person who usually goes into an abandoned building and "flicks" pictures usually with an iPhone or Android. They claim to be a photographer or artist after editing their 5 megapexil shot with a fisheye and over abusive HDR effect. Snapseed is usually the #1 "editing" program they use. You can spot them out in real life as they are usually middle aged wearing a bandana around their mouth or disposable dust mask as a form of protection. If you do see them don't be alarmed as they usually stick to one place only and proclaim themselves as an explorer. Lastly they abuse hashtags by using some type of subject following the day in the week "brickmonday" "rustythursday" and put a quote from someone they know nothing about in order to make them sound intellectual. The more crews they are in the better Instagram urban explorer they are.

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.
