Apple Syndrom 

This often occurs with any Applebee's employee that shows the slightest interest in becoming a manager. The GM will encourage you to work as many hours as humanly possible and switch you from server, to expo, to bartender, to fry cook, broil, and mid cook, and every other position within a matter of weeks. Symptoms of this sickness includes but is not limited to; referring everyone as an "applebot", calling the store your "apple family", doing "call backs" when a family member asks you for something (example: family--"Just to let you know, dinner will be ready in 10minutes" you--"I hear you ten minutes"), correcting your spouse or childrens mistake by saying "That's not spec!", placing your fork/spoon on your plate so the handle points at 5 o'clock.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
