Get the drama minemug. I hate those unvertisements where they're having a clearance for furniture or carpets and someone is constantly shouting. They don't make me want to buy stuff, they make me want to find the manager of that place and shove a screwdriver down his ear canal.

Get the unvertisementmug. Translation from scientist to normal person speak: We honestly have no fucking idea.
Sometimes, even scientists don't know what's going on. At times like that they tend to act like everyone else, which is that they assume the most popular idea must be correct. Unfortunately, this is sophistry, not science.

Dr John Snow, I am tired of your incessant prattling about Cholera being a water-born disease! There is a scientific consensus that it is spread by a miasma and that is final!

Get the scientific consensusmug. To slash something.
That is, take an existing work of fiction and add or imply a homosexual subtext to it. Some do it because they find it amusing. Others do it because they find it arousing.
Most common targets for slashing are the Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings books and movies. Macho movies, especially 'Top Gun' and 'Fight Club' are also favoured targets of this activity.

#1: I love slashing the Lord Of The Rings movies. I know it's all about friendship but the way the actors play Sam/Frodo and Aragorn/Legolas I simply can't believe it's platonic.
#2: For the love of all that is holy will you STOP slashing Shindler's List!

I am officially referring to my project leader as "Don Quixote" from this point on. She's got the idea in her head that she, rather than the boss, defines the project KPIs. I'm going along with it because a good performance appraisal is not worth the next few months of my life being made a living hell by that crazy-ass bitch!
