Mr.Brightside 

1) To always look for the positive in life.
2) To want somebody so bad that it drills your mind night and day. The desire can be much more intense when you realize that the two of you could never work due to distance, people, place, etc. Inspired by The Killers song.
1)Even after I crashed my car into the exit ramp, and my insurance turned down my claim, the fact that nobody got hurt made me feel like Mr.Brightside.

2)When I heard about her Friday night hookup, my inner Mr.Brightside realized there was nothing I could do from across the country.

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.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
