The worst imaginable way to spend your free time. While you are stuck at home/office/library doing it, all your friends are out living and having a good time. All you get to show for it is grey hair, no hair, zero sleep and ruined relationships. When you are finally finished it, you don't even get a congratulations or a piece of paper that says you did it.
Jill - Hey Jack! I haven't seen you in ages! Let's hang out...we're all going to *insert anything awesome here*, you wanna come along!?! It's going to be the BEST.

Jack - I'm stuck doing fucking CASB all night...if you have a cyanide pill you could spare I'd appreciate it. Have fun enjoying life with your substantially shorter work hours and much greater salary.

kaz-buh, -bah, kahz- citadel; a walled central area of a town or city in North Africa, especially Algiers. Also, the older quarter of such a town or city.

The word was popularized in Western cultures in the early 1980s thanks to the song "Rock the Casbah" by British punk band The Clash. The song's lyrics have undergone multiple convoluted interpretations since it was released in 1982. The lyrics of the song are better understood if one knows how the song came to be written. In short, they describe an Arab king's (called a "sharif," a noble who is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad) efforts to stop his subjects from listening to Western music, such as ordering his military's jet fighters to bomb any people in violation of the ban. The pilots ignore the order, and instead play rock music on their cockpit radios. The population then proceed to "rock the casbah" by dancing to the music. This scenario was inspired by the ban on Western music in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The community’s salmon-pink palette was suggested by the rosy sandstone walls, and its hilltop clubhouse, introduced by a Middle Eastern-style water stair, was placed to overlook the villas like a casbah surveying so many riads.

Rock the Casbah 

Disobeying and doing something you belive is right even though it isn't legal. Comes from the Clash song of the same name, which was about playing rock music even though it was banned by the Ayatollah

Also, this was the first rock song played in Iran in ten years after the Shah was removed from his trone. It was played by on the American Army radio and became an anthem for the army during the first Gulf War.

Casbah Shot 

A shot containing 1/2 Southern Comfort, 1/2 RedBull, with a splash of Apple Puckers. Originated in Houston TX, this concoction must only be made with the right amount of each ingredient, or the Casbah will not be rocked. When made correctly, the shot is like pouring liquid deliciousness into your face. Immediately after consumption, you will completely lose control. Some will hit the dance floor, others will start a fight, and some will take their shirt off and show their nipples to the bartender. Who knows? Whatever the case may be, you will wake up the next morning saying, "things got a little weird last night." I should tell you to drink Casbah shots responsibly, but that is just not a possibility. The Casbah can only be rocked to the fullest extent.
I'm not gonna lie, things got a little weird last night. We bought a round of 16 Casbah shots at the bar, next thing I know I woke up this morning in the hot tub with all my clothes on and a dead hooker floating next to me. Let's Rock that muther fuckin Casbah again tonight son!

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.
