School in Melissa, Texas where 30% of the population is in the upper class, 50% is in the middle class, and 20% is in the lower class, although the lower class still finds a way to afford iPhone XS Maxes and juul pods every week to feed their nicotine addiction. Rednecks get drunk at bonfires every weekend and sport their brand new Dodge Cummins. The spoiled rich kids bump Drake and Lil Baby in the new Mercedes their daddy bought them. The middle class kids are pretty average.
Person 1: Have you been to Melissa High School?

Person 2: Yup, it’s a piece of shit don’t go there

Lets not for get about the love you get from her. When she loves she loves for real and its that type of love that you don't want to go away. If you love a Melissa it would be like losing everything and everyone you have. I love you babe

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.
