el matador defense 

A lackluster, low-effort form of defense in which the defender simply reaches for the ball and then quickly pulls his hand away -- similar to how a matador pulls his cape out of the way of a charging bull -- as the offensive player drives by him for an easy shot at the hoop.
Kobe keeps running on the paint! I wish Lebron James stop playing el matador defense on Kobe.

El Matadore 

El Matadore is a spoof, Yorkshire based grime/hip hop artist. His videos are for comedy purposes, and some of the claims he makes whilst talking to the camera back this up.

He is most well known for his Devvo diss that made it onto the Doncaster Chav's website, fat - pie. This prepelled him into the spot light, with a large share of people taking his side in the "beef".

Its subtle humour, but its hilarious! If you are into observational comedies such as The Office, Lead Balloon, and even Alan Partridge, this is for you!
El Matadore - "Being brought up where I'm brought up, (Sheffield), is like a game of dice.... roll for a 1, live life on the street, roll for a 6, (points to himself)... and lifes a bloody treat...."

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.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
