automaton \aw-TOM-uh-ton, -tn\, noun:

1. a mechanical figure or contrivance constructed to act as if by its own motive power; robot.
2. a person or animal that acts in a monotonous, routine manner, without active intelligence.
3. something capable of acting automatically or without an external motive force.

Automaton comes from the Greek autos + matos, literally meaning "self thinking." It entered English in the 1600s.

 

dick inches 

• Arbitrary (and usually incorrect) units of measurement used mostly by males. Derives from men overestimating their penis size. Dick inches are much shorter than actual inches. Hence a guy can claim to have a 9 inch penis when it is actually closer to 5-6 inches. The term "dick inches" is usually used when over-estimating non-penis measurements.

fellow one: "Finally! There's a parking spot!"

fellow one: "There's plenty of room."

Georgi Girl - 2026

If it's summer in New York, you should expect to see the Georgi Vodka ads. However they are illegal in NY as they and other booze ads on NY property will make minors become drunks. But CBD and vape stores are fine, as well as late term abortions. This state is retarded.
