On a typical evening, Erik and Arthur are likely recovering from a football game. Since Erik is the star kicker and Arthur, who’s much less talented than Erik, at least plays on the team and practices with them, he'd also be a part of the game, even if just a benchwarmer. However, of course, football  is their one productive activity. They’re usually up to more nefarious deeds.


In the evening, Erik and Arthur are probably planning how to rob the homes in their neighborhood. Since many of the Lake Windsor Downs homes are tented because of a termite infestation, no one is around to guard their valuables. Consequently, Erik and Arthur have the opportunity to steal thousands of dollars of valuables, mostly jewelry.


They are also planning how to most cruelly bully those around them. Erik and Arthur enjoy making others feel uncomfortable. They may be planning how to best scare Paul or how to mess with the other stars on the Lake Windsor Downs football team.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
