Pestilence: A request by one jousting knight to borrow the weapon of another.
Sanitary
Sanitary The word originally meant "free from germs" but now means "having an acceptable number of deficiencys"
such as the standards for food packaging which alows for a certain amount of hair, mouse poo, and other contaminants, but is still considered "sanitary" possibly because the powers that be have lost their sanity.
DNA
DNA - (1) an acronym for Denver Naval Attachment (rarely used)
DNA - (2) attempt by scientists to formularise by abbreviation the wonder that is life (an attempt incidentally which doesn't work as life is already too short for most (and unfortunately too long for a few). In the future they hope to extend life by studying the formula so that they will have more time to study it and therefore to extend it etc etc - a vicious circle indeed
Google: Like HAL, but much much scarier.
Dalek
Dalek - the metallic vernacular of Dr Murgatroyd Cocopops Who (13th Doctor) (am I allowed to use his full name? No matter - he can always go back in time and change it) anyway, his most resilient and persistent toythings, for why should a child-entity who keeps regenerating through universe to universe not have a few toys resistant to the ravages of time to play with? Try as he may to break one, immediately appear ten in its place. Davros, their controlling head-of-operations speaks this language like a native (a native of 'where' is another question) and uses it to full effect in the third installment: The Elocution of Halfo, where (spoiler alert!) the good Doctor (of psychology this time around) makes the speculative connection that the nasty D's recalcitrance may be in part due to his bad enunciation. Many hijinks ensue as he vainly attempts to remove Davros's tongue and vocal tract via the 'forcefeeding sonic screwdriver' method championed by K9 the robot puppy (spoiler over) which if successful and proving true would be no problem except-
Ah but you'll have to wait for that episode...
Tardis
TARDIS An improbable blue Police Call Box, bigger on the inside than out in defiance of all laws of physics, able to travel in both time and space, ergo to be anywhere and anywhen, sometimes simultaneously. This is piloted by a being over 900 years old, who regenerates upon death into a different actor, um, person, but can only do this 12 times, making 13 Doctors in all, unless the show runs out, in which case like the Doctor’s enemy, The Master, who ran out of regenerations years ago, a loophole will be found. Death in itself is a paradox for the Doctor, as his past personas cross paths with his present on occasion, leading to gatherings of up to all 13 at the same time. A fabulous paradox!
