Inpidginous Vocab I

Do you find yourself lapsing into pidgin from time to time? God knows how long we've been here, trying to eat from the tree of knowledge and then falling from grace or from the Anglosphere. It may be time to consider a bit of a vocab overhaul and on the other hand some revision too. Come on! In like Flynn!

revision:
IRON LUNG: WOULDN’T WORK IN AN IRON LUNG Extraordinarily lazy. The phrase derives from the artificial respirator that kept polio patients alive by ‘breathing’ for them in the days when up to ten thousand people annually were affected by poliomyelitis (‘infantile paralysis’) in Australia. When vaccinations became routine in the mid-1950s, the fear of polio disappeared. Barry Humphries commented in 1974: ‘Work! Brits couldn’t even spell it. Bloody poms couldn’t work in an iron lung’.
ICY POLE popsicle
INCESTON derogatory name for Launceston.

new words:
IGNORANUS (ig.nor.AY.nus) n. A person who is both stupid and extremely rude or obnoxious.
IN SILICO is an expression used to mean "performed on computer or via computer simulation." The phrase is coined in analogy to the Latin phrases in vivo and in vitro which are commonly used in biology (see also systems biology) and refer to experiments done in living organisms and outside of living organisms, respectively. Contrary to widespread belief, in silico does not mean anything in Latin. The proper Latin phrase would likely be in simulacro to describe experiments done on the likeness (simulacrum) or model of a phenomenon.
IMPERIAL OVERSTRETCH n. The extension of an empire beyond its ability to maintain or expand its military and economic commitments.
INCESTUOUS AMPLIFICATION n. The reinforcement of set beliefs among like-minded people, leading to miscalculations and errors in judgment.
IRRITABLE MALE SYNDROME n. Anger and irritableness in men caused by a sudden drop in testosterone levels, particularly when brought on by stress. Also: IMS.
