quantum bogodynamics
:quantum bogodynamics: /kwon'tm boh`goh-di:-nam'iks/ n. A theory that
characterizes the universe in terms of bogon sources (such as
politicians, used-car salesmen, TV evangelists, and suit
in general),
bogon sinks (such as taxpayers and computers), and bogosity potential
fields. Bogon absorption, of course, causes human beings to behave
mindlessly and machines to fail (and may also cause both to emit
secondary bogons); however, the precise mechanics of the bogon-computron
interaction are not yet understood and remain to be elucidated. Quantum
bogodynamics is most often invoked to explain the sharp increase in
hardware and software failures in the presence of suits; the latter emit
bogons, which the former absorb. See bogon
