Cal Poly Pomona

also commonly referred to as "Cow Poly Pomona" is one kick-ass university. Not only does it boast real vegetation and real education, it is also quite fun for women to attend since the ratio is totally in their favor.

People everywhere wondered where a former lingerie model would have learned about quantum mechanics or higher level mathematics, but once they knew she'd gone to Cal Poly Pomona, it was no longer a mystery.

Nutritionist

usage (noun)
A title claimed by many have-been hollywood types, wannabe doctors, and your regular garden variety hollywood "fitness" guru. There is no legal definition therefore allowing any charlatan to use it. Normally used to imply that the person has some knowledge on the science of biochemical reactions which occur in energy expenditure and metabolism as an organism converts food into usable energy-but notice they never use R.D. after their name, as they would be prosecuted for impersonating real scientists.

"Are you a nutritionist?"
"No, I'm a Registered Dietitian"
"what does that mean?"
"I have a degree in biochem and clinical training in the field in addition I don't wear spandex on TV"

"what was that?"

"oh, it's my empty scrotum flapping in the breeze....it's my crypt orchids..."

slapped cheek disease

a mild rash illness that occurs most commonly in children. The ill child typically has a "slapped-cheek" rash on the face and a lacy red rash on the trunk and limbs. Occasionally, the rash may itch. An ill child may have a low-grade fever, malaise, or a "cold" a few days before the rash breaks out. The child is usually not very ill, and the rash resolves in 7 to 10 days.

Although we would expect slapped cheek disease to come from chronic incidence of being a jerk, it is actually caused by the human parvovirus 19.
