If you ever get the chance to take her to bed, you will experience the most divine pleasure known to mankind.

Amilamia 

The complete opposite of a narcissist. The pinnacle of humility. Amilamia is every man's Gandhi, every woman's Mother Theresa. She is Aidos incarnate: reverent, temperate, and demure, yet tenderly shameless. She has a soft demeanor and can melt you with meekness, yet she can also have a lyrical soul which resembles the lilting tempo of Enya rather than Reznor. She is full of bashfulness and would never boast online of her unparalleled brilliance and diverse gifts. If you've crossed her, you will eventually Google her name out of suspicion she's written a bestselling novel featuring a negative portrayal of you à la Woody Allen's Manhattan, and stumble across this page. If you ever get the chance to take her to McDonald's, it's probably best not to ask her to buy the next sandwich.
While some may consider themselves lucky she's in their life, she remains so down-to-earth. She is such an Amilamia.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
