In Cornwall in the South West of England, this is a dialect name for a woodlouse, so although not strictly slang it still owes its origins to dialect and common usage as slang words do. The difference between dialect and slang is that dialect is not constant, for example just across the Tamar in the county of Devon a woodlouse is ‘chickypig’ while in Somerset it’s ‘gramfy-coocher’ and in Gloucestershire ‘johnny-grump’.

Malcolm is as much use in the workplace as a chuggypig is in the Royal Air Force.

Chuey

This is a strong vodka drink. This drink can be made with kool aid or country time lemonade. Mix vodka, kool aid and water (from a lake or river that has been purified). This is a camping drink when weight is an issue and everything must be backpacked in. It can be made very sweet by just adding more mix. This drink was made famous by an ex Green Bay Packer in a hot tube with a young girl. This drink should always be served in a Nalgene bottle and shaken not stirred.

Krust could you mix me up another Chuey. I need to get my drink on.

Cheugy

The opposite of trendy. Stylish in middle school and high school but no longer in style. Used when someone still follows these out of date trends. This may include but not be limited to fashion, habits on social media, usage of slang, etc.

My friend told me to change out of my favorite pair of Miss Me jeans because they were cheugy.

trucker's tan

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.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

Boffin

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.
