awesame While chatting with some friends a while back, schmatz and I invented a word that I feel should be added to the lexicon of every right-thinking nerd:
awesame: adj. Having impressive rotational symmetry. "Because the laws of physics are so awesame, a shortstop doesn't need to know whether he's facing north or south in order to catch a fly ball." [From "awesome" + "same", and the observation that, as rendered in many fonts, "awesame" is awesame.]
more excellent nerdiness Since I'm indulging in nerdy jokes today, I feel I should mention my friend motive_nuance's favorite unit of velocity: megahertz gallons per acre (time-1 * distance3 / distance2). It works out to be about 0.94 meters per second.
Officer: Do you know how fast you were going back there? Smartass: Yes officer, about 38 megahertz gallons per acre.
