Guernsey 

adj. (slang)

Used (mainly) to describe the state of drug users after a few too many lines/pills/tabs/hits or combination thereof. Once a person's lower jaw takes on a mind of it's own, seeking only to meet with their eyebrows and beyond, they're Guernsey. That being said, Guernsey is so much more than a word for gurning.
It may also used to describe when something goes badly wrong and variations of this word are perfectly acceptable. For example, please feel free to add an -ing to make a handy verb for any occasion.

Guernsey is also one of the Channel Islands, which is just fine by us.
1. I took so many E's last night, can't remember much but I got really Guernsey.

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.
