Oh god, managers.
I'd join in, but my phone is too hard to type on to express myself properly.

[KingofstarrySkies]

My mother is a manager, at a Pita Pit.

She was also a manager at a Tim Horton's.

And a Movie Gallery.

The word "mouthfeel".

The mouthfeel of this eel is peculiarly moist.

Erm...
I...
What?

[EnigmaticHat]

My dad is a manager and based on my experiences with him I'd say he's probably the annoying kind.

This Numerical Analysis textbook is potentially the worst text book that I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. It:
1) Uses algorithms from much later parts of the book without explaining why or how they work. You can easily get statements like "and then with Algorithm 6.11 we solve the problem" in chapter 2.
2) Uses sensible variables for the mathmatical explanations, such as 'a','b','c','d','x', and 'y'. However for the pseudocode portion of the textbook these are randomly assigned to new variables, without the book ever telling you which one is now which. You end up with things like a->c, y->a, d->λ, and x->z with no apparent explanations about why they switched.
3) Uses a numberline that starts at 0, (i.e. x₀...x_n), however Matlab (unlike most other languages) starts its numberline at 1 (i.e. x₁...x_n+1). Yet despite being specifically designed to be used with Matlab, the code in the books still starts its numberline at 0!

The word "mouthfeel".

Looks like someone hasn't had the pleasure of experiencing molecular gastronmy~

[Vector]

The word "mouthfeel".

Oh my god, me too.

[Frumple]

Does... does it have some kind of odd secondary meaning that's (presumably) recently arisen, or...?

[Orange Wizard]

The wiki page for "mouthfeel" has no citations and one note of clarification needed. Sounds promising.

[scriver]

What's wrong with that word?

Summation: Nobody in Bay12 is qualified to be a sommelier

[Bauglir]

Hmm... I admit, the word is possibly a bit of an ugly mishmash and should have its own word. Is there one from another language that we could annex? I do rather love experiencing the concept, though. Wine is great, f'rinstance.

I got bit three times while lying in my room for about an hour. My current apartment has waaaay too many mosquitos, and they never die despite using a lot of bug killer and repellant. I think there's some nest of mosquitos that keeps belching them out every day. So annoying, and these mosquitos are also fairly potent. All of my bites have a large irregulalry shaped raised area, whereas most Korean city mosquito bites cause small round raised areas.

[Frumple]

... *raises finger* I, uh. Unless your mosquitoes are very different (which is possible, frumple does not keep full accounting of biological variations of the hatesucker), mosquitoes don't "nest". They breed in still/stagnant water. So... most any bits of water that have been left out in open air is mosquito breeding ground.
