KeithMyArthe's definitions
A verbal stoush between two or more parties that is so petty, pointless, misinformed or ill-conceived that it makes witnesses wince with embarrassment, or so uncomfortable that they don't know where to look.
Did you hear those two going off at each other across the table? I just don't want to get involved in these squirmishes.

Our band's first concert went well - we were really kicking it. The Audient was overcome with emotion, and promised to bring a friend to the next gig. The bar staff also applauded. The drummer got the audient's phone number !

Get the Misterogyny mug. Adj.
When an internet forum member is subjected to intensive forced indoctrination resulting in the rejection of old beliefs and acceptance of new ones;
When happy members of online forums become jaded and cynical enough to be 'promoted' as moderators.
The membership, not the inductee, then appear different, no longer deserving of mutual respect and admiration, but become merely a source of annoyance to the staff. Mods become distant and unattainable.

Get the Infosomniamug. A Book is like .. a non-volatile, stable database that does not lose data no matter how many times you drop it, spill your beer on it, or close it incorrectly. Books are more stable even than Optical Media. Storage is only limited by the amount of space and volume that the owner can physically carry. Some storage units seem to last for years, and whilst the background colour or 'fill' of the pages may degrade to a kind of #F5F5DC beige, the actual data is still readily retrievable.
Books were used for storage before computers. The only reason computers were invented was due to the poor fire retardant properties of the base materials used in the manufacture of books (especially those books used to upset the tribal elders of religious groups) and because books were easy to steal data from. Books have also been used to store ideas for Movies That No-one Has Made Yet.
