Pure, unbridled perfection
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Mana !

Among Polynesian and Melanesian peoples, a supernatural force or power that may be ascribed to persons, spirits, or inanimate objects. Mana may be either good or evil, beneficial or dangerous, but it is not impersonal; it is never spoken of except in connection with powerful beings or things. The term was first used in the 19th century in the West in connection with religion, but mana is now regarded as a symbolic way of expressing the special qualities attributed to persons of status in a hierarchical society, of providing sanction for their actions, and of explaining their failures.

Of course, that term has been co-opted by computer role-playing games as a term for one's magic meter.

Also used in Magic: The Gathering I believe.

Was that sentence super nerdy? I think maybe it was...

Well, I'm pretty sure Flex is that last surviving member of the Moriori...but I'm also quite tired.
