Campsick 

The opposite of homesick (or home-lonely; medically, you're not actually ill). Intense longing to be back at summer camp. Afflicted persons may show a variety of symptoms, including melancholy, reminiscence, and attempts to incorporate camp culture, routine, and lingo into "real world" life.

The only known cure for campsickness is to send the afflicted person back to camp. Otherwise, be patient with them. Try to distract them without making them feel as though you don't care about how they feel. Listen to their camp stories, even though you've likely heard them more times than you care to. If possible, try to incorporate their favourite camp customs into the "real world". Encourage contact with other "camp people", because they will share experiences and alleviate the feeling of being alone.
After working full-time at summer camp, many counselors missed it so much they became campsick. Most of their friends at school and work did not understand, and aggravated the feeling.

level capped 

A group of friendly, calm and collected Dungeon Boss players who are extremely knowledgeable about and committed to the game. From the outside, they appear to be able to achieve near impossible feats, which leads some to inaccurately think they have some kind of unfair advantage.

However, those chosen few who have had the opportunity to pass through their fabled gates quickly realize it’s just old fashion smarts, elbow grease and a heck of a lot of coordination, planning and solid communication.
Level Capped? Yeah, I know them. When people don’t know what’s going on in there they speculate, when they think they know, they fabricate, and when they do know they hate and at the same time try to emulate.

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.
