A person who uses gestures and dramatic overtones during online chatting. Much like what is seen in person among italians but digitized. Usually makes the conversation difficult when not talking to another e-talian. Usually done with * * between the action taking place.
*Dropkick to face* Hey what's up?
*Dodges and counters* Not much how ya doing!

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.”
