Batty Points

A system used as a marker for how irritating, smug, feminine or stupid someone is. Like man points, batty points can only be accumulated.

They can also only be handed out by someone who has a significant proportion less Batty points than they have whilst also having a significant proporsion more Man Points.

Although not classed in some countries as a real qualification, most people will take your 'Batty Count' into consideration whether deciding whether or not you would be a good friend/mating partner.

Ways to earn batty points:

1 Ditching friends to hang round with women.
2 Feeling unjustly smug.
3 Repetition of bad jokes/unfunny catchphrases.
4 Not wanting to do something manly
5 Making a big fuss over minor injuries
6 Whining & Crying
7 Caring too much about your appearance.8 Making trivial mistakes which affect you/your friends situation.
9 Lying about how many Batty/Man points you have.
10 Trying to hand out Batty/Man points without correct Man Point quota.

Traditionally an individuals' Batty Count is recorded in the local 'Batty Tome' (working in conjuction with the Tome of Man) although more recently councils have been testing out online prototypes with varying sucess.
Person 1: Lol it's funny touching other boys legs!
Person 2: You just earned yourself some batty points

Person 1: You Said It!
Person 2: Five batty points.

Derek received ten batty points after it was found he had been hanging around with Ms.Steeple all day.

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.
