Bikeshed refers to topics which have never recieved concensus and are likely to generate side-discussions and flames unless all participants are well-read on all the past history. It stems from the idea that big changes (like the building of a power plant) go through quickly, since everyone assumes that someone else has checked it out, while simple changes (like building a bikeshed) often get mired in bureaucracy, since everyone has an opinion on it.

Bidushi by normalbitch November 24, 2019
Bidisha is an Indian name. It means "knowledge" in Sanskrit, and it is also the name of some sacred Hindu landmarks.
This name is typically used by Bengalis because they are superhot and amazing, and because the name Vidisha cannot be used because Bengalis replace the letter "V" with "B."

Since Bengali girls are usually extremely attractive, usually somebody with the name Bidisha is extremely good-looking and charming and nice.
Look at Bidisha...SHE IS SO SEXY!

Bidisha is a name for a girl who is nice, but don’t try and get on her bad side. She will laugh at everything no matter how serious the situation is. People with this name can be very wild, adventurous, funny, and hyper.They are also very beautiful. Some bad traits are that they can be insane, insensitive, cruel, childish, evil, devious, or stubborn. They are very slick and clever so don't act smart around them!They are quite a risk taker as well! They can be either very innocent or have a very dirty mind(no in between). It might take them a while to open up but once they’re comfortable around you they are an amazing person.
"I thought Bidisha was just some childish person but shes actually a really nice and funny person!"

"Bidisha seems very self preserved" "Nah when you get to know her, shes a real wild card"
"Omg, Bidisha looks so pretty!!" "Yeah, she always does!"

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.
