This word comes from the root word "ghetto" (that is to say, the version of "ghetto" that describes a car with no hubcaps, etc) but should not be classified as a rascist term. Ghetter simply means intentionally stupid actions, usually done by white people, that makes them seem poor and/or moronic. In some cases "ghetter" actions are just plain stupid in general.

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.

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.
