2. When something is so sardonically beautiful and/or has a dark or morbid appeal meshed with sheer "purdiness", tact and/or skillfulness it can only be described thusly.
ex.1: dude...that song "Mordecai" by Between The Buried and Me is so breautiful...but I think the same about "Selkies: The Endless Obsession" and hell, all of their stuff is breautiful so I can't choose a favorite song of theirs.
ex.2: "Have you seen any of the Saw movies?"
"Yeah, I love them! The philosophy and motivation of Jigsaw and his puzzles...its so breautiful."
ex.3: I'd have to say my favorite classic expressonist painting of all time would be Edvard Munch's "The Scream" ...its extremely breautiful.
A combination of beauty and brutal. When a new friend enters the circle of friends and doesn't realize he/she's hooking up with a train wreck/psycho; the train wreck is super hot though.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
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.
