hand check

Often shouted in a public place (party, bus, etc) when couples are together. People who do not have significant others will shout this to keep themselves occupied. The couples must then raise their hands to show that they were not doing anything other than cuddling. It doesn't work. Trust me.
*Mo and Flo are at a party, hugging*
Joe: Yo, Mo and Flo! Hand check!
*Mo stops fingering Flo. Both raise hands into air*
Mo: See? We weren't doin' nothing!

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.
