A line from the William and Mary alma mater song. The full verse goes:
"William and Mary, loved of old,
Hark upon the gale!
Hear the thunder of our chorus,
Alma mater hail!"
The college and the students use this phrase a lot, both seriously and in jokes. It is a well-known phrase to anyone at the college.
A few freshmen in the dining hall, loudly: "William and Mary, loved of old..."
Camille: Some freshmen are singing the Alma Mater agian.
Joey: Let's join them!
Camille: Are you serious?
Literally everyone in the dining hall: HARK UPON THE GALE! HEAR THE THUNDER OF OUR CHORUS...
Probably one of the best people you will ever meet. His charisma and charm works wonders on everyone he talks to. When he smiles, it can give you an almost indescribable feeling like your running among the clouds, filled with a joy like no other. His personality is exceptional and he's hard to get to know at first, but once you do, make sure you keep him as a friend forever. He's irreplaceable. And he's normally really cute.
Guy 1: I was talking to Galen the other day and he smiled at me. I feltmy heart skip a beat.
Girl 1: You talk about him so much lololol

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.
