Originating in Halifax circa 2015, the word Besh is used as a term for a vape/e-cigarette device.

The word's origins come from the words "sheesha pen" evolving through the forms of "sheesha" - "shesh" and finally "besh".

(Writer's Note - The letter 'b' came from a phase where these fellas would replace the first letter in a name with said letter e.g. Sam - Bam, Marsh - Barsh")
"That besh tastes Peng, what flav?"

"Toot on besh lad?"

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.
