The surname Jhattu originates from Punjab and is commonly found among Sikhs and some Punjabi Hindus. It is relatively uncommon, and its exact meaning is not well documented in historical records. However, in Punjabi, "Jhattu" is sometimes used colloquially to describe someone who is quick or hasty in their actions.

Those with the Jhattu surname are traditionally associated with the Jatt caste and often have an ancestral heritage of warriors.

Like many Sikh surnames, Jhattu is derived from a geographic location, occupation, or familial trait. It is specifically linked to the Doaba region of Punjab and is believed to have originated as a toponymic surname.

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.

Pee Calculus

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.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
