Bon Appétit is the French for 'Enjoy your meal'. It was also used in many other places such as the name of a magazine. But if you heard this or someone wrote it in an email or a letter, just know that it means enjoy your meal.
P.S. the following example is a real life quote that made me find and add this word in the dicionary:
Student:thanks for the meal today, believe it or not, today I
didnt have anything for breakfast and not much for dinner the night
before, so that muffins were quite satisfying. :)
And I never thought of a strawberry that deep in my entire life.
Teacher: No doubt there'll probably be other unexpected things this quarter, but
I don't know how many of them will be food oriented. "Bon Appetit" regardless.
Mum: Dinner is prepared you boys and I've spent all day getting it ready.
(the two boys sit at the table with the cutlery in hand salivating while mum finishes serving dinner)
Mum: bon appetit

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.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
