ISU party anthem 

A complete an utter embarrassing video attempting to portray the "ISU lifestyle." It is an embarrassing rendition of kids trying to be "college." What's really impressive is how the video on youtube filters out comments so that only the positive ones are displayed. I the guys who made the video are that cool they wouldn't have to filter out the negative comments. I hope for the sake of men everywhere the video is removed because its THAT embarrassing.
Guy 1: Hey have you heard that ISU party anthem yet?
Guy 2: Yeah I lost my manhood just by watching it!
Guy 3: Hey at least we go to ISU so were all jag offs anyways!

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.
