The Kirby Dance 

The Kirby Dance, is to this day, the single greatest emote known to man. It spans from texting, to mesaging, and AIM. But the orgins of such a powerful emote seems to be from the MMORPG World of Warcraft, and Mr. Rogers (Some legends say that Mr Rogers had this as one of his many gruesome tattos during his tour in vietnam). Although it appears to be nothing more than a simple emote, such as
:D
XD

:-P

It actually has a much more indepth purpose. It is, by most, to be the single most amazing way to spark a conversation. Also, legends say that one who can acutally perform this emote in real life using their body, could be endowed with inmortality, and unlimited wealth. Of course, no human could possibly mimic the Kirby Dance.

Except for Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and Kimbo Slice.

The Kirby Dance emote looks like this

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.
