Hunker Down 

A really great beer-drinkin game from our hillbilly brethren. Involves two competitors holding opposite ends of a long rope and standing on buckets (more traditionally, ammo cans.) At the cue (anyone in the crowd can holler HUNKER DOWN) the competitors pull on the rope until there is no slack left. From here they must use craftiness, trickery, and a good amount of hunkerin down to make the other person set a foot on the ground. Trust me, it's great.

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.
