EULA roofieing 

the practice of enforcing a legally binding agreement on a customer without explicit informed consent or done so with hopes of the terms being bypassed or neglected (and ultimately unknown), most often enacted by corporations who actively lobby against consumer rights.

examples:
- changing the terms of the agreement at a point in time after the initial exchange
- dark patterns set up to mislead the customer, confuse them, waste their time (stalling) or lie to them
- a forced arbitration clause on page 69 of the end-user license agreement stapled to the inside of the refrigerator packaging cardboard box which the customer will never come in contact with
- charging the customer for services which they have not received, charging hidden fees, or charging cancellation fees
- automatic contract renewal without consent or confirmation
- assume that the customer accepts the new terms if they don't respond immediately respond
- make it extremely difficult or impossible for the customer to disagree, refuse, deny or cancel
- take maximum advantage of the customer as much as allowed by hidden clauses and loopholes in laws and regulation
- sharing private and highly-sensitive personal customer data with "1281 vendors/our advertising partners", or to the general public
- avoiding all liability, responsibility engaging in scapegoating and shameless blame-shifting and steering, even if all these measures have resulted in wrongful death
- Retroactively Amended Purchase Experience

Eula Roofing (end-user license agreement) 

It's when you have gotten consent from somebody but that consent was not received in the most moral of circumstances or standarts
If I know that somebody doesnt speak english and I put in page 96 of their repair contract, that they signed before they get their iphone fixed, that if they dont certified mail me 16 years from now, that I will get to marry their firstborn daughter and take all their personal property. Thus - Eula Roofing (end-user license agreement)

"Hey Sally, you want to hang out this weekend?"
"I can't, I have dance."
"You're such a Bunhead."

"Yeah... I know."

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.

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.
