Alt (short for alternative) is a word that describes people who wish to live differently from others by dressing in their own unique style or listening to a genre of music that is much different from everyone else's because it is apart of who they really are. It has nothing to do with BLM,LGBT,or any of that stuff. Only the stupid e-girls want you to believe that crap.
"Goth,punk,and emo are considered to be alternative"

And Alt is an account that is made by the same user of another account and pretends to be someone different. It is usually made to start drama in communities such as fandom and sometimes reddit. They are usually banned by admins on wikis for causing drama and being mean to other users. When their acc is banned they make another acc. This is quite a hassle for admins and they usually ban the IP Adress for all acc’s in the area the alt maker is are blocked. They usually use hacking to get to make these acc’s or to make it seem like other users made the alt when in reality the blocked user is. They usually make acc’s knowing that they will be blocked just to send an offensive message on another users message wall or in the blog posts. They scam and cause trouble for no reason. They are not liked. Being accused of making an alt is tooken to extreme offence. Famous examples of alt makers are ILR (AKA IloveRumania), TLR (AKA TehLoanRanger), TBB, and formerly IILWP (AKA[Iminlovewithpolandball)
User: Hey admin come check this new user out he’s been up to some trouble in the blog posts

Admin: ok, he might be an ILR alt

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.
