A terribly vain person who uses selfish and cruel emotional abuse to bend and manipulate lovers and friends. A Lanthis will then use these people and discard them when he's sucked them dry.
Pam to love-struck friend:
"Jane, you need to stay away from that guy. He may be hot but he's also a total Lanthis"
Jane:
"A Lanthis!? Thank goodness you told me, I'll stay well clear of him then"

Lathish is a leader. A president. Also annoyingly laughs at his own jokes. He also doesn't know how his name is spelt, sometimes calling himself Latish.
"Bro is that dudelaughing at his own joke a Lathish?"
"Not sure, I thought he was a Latish"
(phrase) Twist from the line in the movie 'The Ringer'- "Oh my lanta". Credit to Billy the character who speaks it gloriously (You scratched my CD!). Used for when something is not going according to plan or when in a bad situation

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

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.
