Comment on Chiff by Matthew Brown

https://lordmatt.co.uk/reflectio...

<p>While browsing Mastodon today, I saw a link to Terence Eden’s Blog and the post asking “Have I reached the Douglas Adams Inflection point?“ I figure that I’ve got to be coming up on my DAIP (Douglas Adams Inflection Point) soon. Much as I try to remain mentally in my early thirties, fifty is coming […]</p>

Octad of fails

https://fictional-dictionary.isb...

A person who fails so hard at life that they do it in blocks of eight. A person who is impressively bad at something. Living proof that it is possible to be worse at something than a dead monkey. An octad is a set of eight things.
