  quantum bogodynamics
       
          /kwon'tm boh"goh-di:-nam"iks/ A theory that characterises the
          universe in terms of bogon sources (such as politicians,
          used-car salesmen, TV evangelists, and suits in general),
          bogon sinks (such as taxpayers and computers), and bogosity
          potential fields.  Bogon absorption causes human beings to
          behave mindlessly and machines to fail (and may also cause
          both to emit secondary bogons); however, the precise mechanics
          of bogon-{computron interaction are not yet understood.
       
          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.

  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 suits 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, computron, suit,
     psyton.
