Len Bakerloo's definitions
A gender preference that can be encoded using a single bit in a computer, where, by convention, 0=Male and 1=Female. This standard was established in a truce between the religious conservative camp who believe that men come first and the radical feminist camp who believe men count for nothing

Get the Binarymug. The word "anagramatic" was submitted to Urban Dictionary by a semi-famous author under his anagramatic pen name Len Bakerloo.

Get the anagramaticmug. The process of getting between you and an intermediary in the name of getting intermediaries out of the way. Recruiters intermediate by getting in between of employers and job seekers for a fee. Disintermediation of the job market would get the recruiters out of the picture. Interdisintermediation is getting between you and a recruiter in the name of getting recruiters out of the picture.
In theory LinkedIn should help me find my next job directly but nothing happened until I paid them a fee. Then I got flooded with spam from recruiters. Great job at interdisintermediation.

Get the interdisintermediationmug. The reason I can respond to your inane bullshit with a coherent argument expressed succinctly and delivered in but six seconds is because I have pre-thunk thoughts and you are a parrot parroting the parrots on Fox News.

Get the pre-thunkmug. The repeated patching up of a flimsy argument for a ridiculous proposition made by someone you’d think would be smarter.
Reductape is Latin for the process of repeatedly patching something until all you see is the patch and you can no longer see the thing being patched.
Absurdium is an isotope of Einsteinium (Es, atomic number 99) which when present in the brain of even the hugest genius renders them stupid.

Did you hear Trump’s latest claims that the election was rigged?
Yes. It was a case of reductape add absurdium.

Get the reductape add absurdiummug. E - means “everything” or more specifically, “Assume I’ve just told you everything you could possibly learn about me by other means and there is nothing more I might want to say.” The shortest possible conversation starter and ender. Saves considerable time and it deserves to be widely adopted.
Entomology: Before there was texting there was telegraphy. To save time, Morse code operators created abbreviations. For example: CQ means “Does anyone want to talk to me,” DE means “From,” OP means “operator,” QTH means “my location is,” and K means “over” (your turn to transmit).
In Morse a “dot” is three times as long as a “dash.” The shortest letter is “E” which is a single dot. The number 0 is “_ _ _ _ _”, 9 is “_ _ _ _ .” and 1 is “. _ _ _ _” so if a number was expected in context, then “cut letters” were substituted. For example Zero became “T” (a single dash), 9 became N (_ .) and 1 became. The area code 901 could be sent as NTA.

Before the internet, a Morse code conversation between two amateur radio operators might go like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K (WB6ACU wants to see if anyone wants to talk to him)
WB6ACU DE N6YOS K (N6YOS says she would like to. This is followed by a preliminary exchange of names and locations before much else is said.)
N6YOS DE WB6ACU OP IS JOE QTH IS STUDIO CITY CA K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS OP IS PRISCILLA QTH IS NASHVILLE TN K
But now with the internet, you can google any call sign and learn everything there is to know about anyone, so a more efficient way communicating goes like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K
AB6ACU DE N6YOS K
N6YOS DE WB6ACU E K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS E K
… at this point both operators are free to see if anyone else wants to talk to them...

Get the Emug. To eat ridiculously expensive trendy snacks with no nutritional value that look like they taste bad but are actually delicious (albeit just as unhealthy as breaded Twinkies deep fried in lard). Practiced mostly by the wealthy, highly paid Unix programmers and college students burning through student loans.
Gnnosh is a recursive acronym for: “Gnnosh's Not Nosh.”

My student loan came through so for $18 I'll upgrade the fries and gnnosh on the deep fried Peruvian Rain Forest Yucca Chips with Pink Hawaiian Sea Salt.
