The left side of the desk on Channel 4's first ever broadcast TV show, Countdown. This side features a lexicographer (Susie Dent, although in earlier series it was a rotational role with producers and members of the Oxford University Press), an Oxford English Dictionary, and in more recent versions a celebrity guest and a laptop showing the Oxford Dictionaries Platinum website. Their job is to validate words provided by contestants before points are rewarded. It's also the name of a similar segment, where Susie may give a little presentation or monologue about a word. In the comedic version, 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, this segment usually features the guest doing a more comedic activity.

Someone who acts as if they’re about to cross a street, usually with a kid or dog in tow, makes a first step toward the crosswalk, causing oncoming traffic to slam on their brakes but then pulls back and farts around with said kid or dog or checks their phone, often also issuing you a scowl thereafter.
