VoA: from logs of previous voyage; an edited dissertation from Alex:
“I have been observing an interesting indicator of our local ambient temperature. I have a tube of ointment - a Very Special Unguent for fingertip application to certain delicate sphinctorially located and unmentionable portions of the nethers. It is necessary to Confer - never Consult! - with this VSU quite frequently and I have observed that its consistency changes noticeably with temperature. In the tropics, it frolics from its tube like warm honey, but down here it takes a massive squeeze to shift it at all and it only appears with great reluctance. Perhaps, therefore, there is an opportunity for a broad thermometric table based on the changes in the VoA - not (definitely not!) the Voice of America, but the Viscosity of Anusol.
For the kids in 5/6 at Belmore South that's a fancy name for special bum ointment that I hope you won't need - ever! We do a lot of sitting out here. Perhaps I should include a VoA reading in the daily bull. (Runny, squeezy, extra squeezy, uber squeezy, go away?)”
Vogons / Vogon Constructor Fleet: - extremely ugly, unpleasant and officious, the Vogons emerged from the seas of Vogsphere and became bureaucrats in the Galactic Government. They destroyed the earth to clear the way for a hyperspace bypass. See HHGTTG
VMG:- velocity made good
