Ting-a-lingin' by Ingbot666 October 11, 2015
A word that came about due to a mishearing of the lyrics of the hit song Love of the Common People by popular recording artist Paul Young.

The lyric "Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to" were misinterpreted erroneously as "Daddy's gonna buy you a dream liginto".

Over time the word has become associated with references to the fate that brings two lovers together.
Neither Stuart nor Susie really liked the term soulmate, but Susie really was Stuarts dream liginto.

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.
