Gchat drive-by 

When you put someone on invisible or block them on your Gchat list and decide (after significant torture) to put them back on your list or unblock them to see if they are online. The drive by part is realizing that they see you if you unblock them or that they ARE in fact online and not talking to you.

Mortification and shame are often side effects.

You know like you drive by their house to see if they are home after a break up or fight?

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.
