(n.) the act of putting something off until... ah screw it
A certain literary quality frequently observed in popular novels, especially in those written by women and young girls, who give it another name and think that in introducing it they are occupying a neglected field of letters and reaping an overlooked harvest. If they have the misfortune to live long enough they are tormented with a desire to burn their sheaves.

A rollercoaster ride of emotions and events, packed into seven neatly organized compartments called days. It starts with the innocent optimism of Monday, where dreams of productivity collide with the reality of hitting the snooze button.

Pronunciation: Chēz
(n) How do you not know what cheese is? Are you dumb? It's cheese. Literally cheese. You eat it, you make it with milk, and it's often paired with wine. It can be found on pizzas, sandwiches, and even the odd pasta dish if you're feeling frisky.

Belonging to an early period and a museum. Antedating the art and practice of perpetuating falsehood.
He lived in a period prehistoric,
When all was absurd and phantasmagoric.
Born later, when Clio, celestial recorder,
Set down great events in succession and order,
He surely had seen nothing droll or fortuitous
In anything here but the lies that she threw at us.
—Orpheus Bowen

(n.) the frog's wartier, homelier cousin
a reasonably famous piece of hong kong cinema released in 1978, when the martial arts craze was still going relatively strong. the domestic popularity of the film was such that the central cast was propelled to significant local fame
the plot runs as such: the aged master of the poison clan once had five students, each trained to fight like a different kind of venomous animal: the quick-handed centipede, the flexible snake, the stingy scorpion, the really-good-at-climbing-walls lizard, and the, um, *indestructible* toad. however, this aged master is now on death's doorstoop, and he is haunted by a dream that one or more of these students have used his teachings for evil. he calls on his newest, youngest, sixth student to go to the nearby village and investigate to see which, if any, of the five are guilty, which is complicated by the fact that all the students wore masks and their identities are secret.
in case you're curious (but not curious enough to actually watch the movie): scorpion is evil, centipede is a willing accomplice, snake is an unwilling accomplice, toad is murdered and lizard is a hero who teams up with the main character.

(noun) The ancient art of combining two numerical beasts to create a mathematical monster. Often accompanied by confused looks, sweaty brows, and mild panic attacks. The process involves strategically placing numbers side by side and hoping for the best.
Lets say 47 + 69
Adding two-digit numbers is like having a race between a tortoise and a hare. The tortoise represents the tens place (4 in 47), and the hare represents the ones place (7 in 47).
First, the hare quickly hops over to the hare from the other number, which is 6. Now the hare is at 13, but it gets tired and goes back to the starting line. Meanwhile, the tortoise steadily crawls over to the other tortoise, which is 6. Now the tortoise is at 10.
At this point, the tortoise looks over and sees the hare at 13. The tortoise realizes it needs to catch up. So, it takes one more step, reaching 11, and then another step, reaching 12, and finally one more step, reaching 13.
Now, both the tortoise and the hare are at 13! They crossed the finish line together, and that's the answer to 47 + 69. The total is 116.
Just like the tortoise and the hare, each digit takes its own path to meet up, and when they finally do, you get the sum of the two numbers!

(also: Pythagorean theorem)
