Double Ghostbuster 

The double ghostbuster is the pinnacle of shitting achievements in which an individual manages two highly difficult elements (or ghostbusters) in one sitting.

A single ghostbuster is when one takes a dump only to discover on inspection that there is nothing in the toilet. Where is it? Straight down the U-bend? Who knows.

Another type of ghostbuster is where one takes a dump, wipes his arse and on expection finds the paper contains no evidence a shit ever took place. A clean break, so to speak.

A Double Ghostbuster, then, is the seemingly impossible combination of both occurances outlined above.
Winston: Ray, Ray, I've just done a Double Ghostbuster!!
Ray: Yeah right, whatever
Winston: It's true Ray. It was clean as a whistle!
Egon: It's statistically 1 in 14 million to pull off a double but it can be done.
Winston and Ray: F*ck off Egon

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.
