all that's changed

Words I've looked up recently:

1st - from Merriam-Webster:
colloid - 1 : a gelatinous or mucinous substance found normally in the thyroid and also in diseased tissue
2 a : a substance that consists of particles dispersed throughout another substance which are too small for resolution with an ordinary light microscope but are incapable of passing through a semipermeable membrane

2nd - from WhatIs.com; best tech dictionary out there
meme - an idea that is passed on from one human generation to another. It's the cultural equivalent of a gene, the basic element of biological inheritance...Today, the word is sometimes applied ironically to ideas deemed to be of passing value. Dawkins himself described such short-lived ideas as memes that would have a short life in the meme pool.

and 3rd - from the British-American dictionary:
minge n. This is a rather derogatory word for a lady's front bottom. Someone tells me the etymology is Romany.
