One Liner 

A perfectly timed, short, witty remark. Used to put someone in their place, put someone down, make a humorous remark or observation, or to simply show the world how awesome you are.

The best One Liners make use of that wonderous language device the pun as well as sheer wit and good timing.

Commonly used by many great actors in action movies.
1) Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator after getting someone with a thrown knife which stuck the man to the wall:

"Stick around!"

2) Arnold (again) in Commando after dangling Sully (one of the villians) off of a cliff and then letting him drop:

"What Happened to Sully?"
"I let him go."

3) John Wayne in The War Wagon after he and his partner shoot two bad guys at once:

partner: "Mine hit the ground first!"
John Wayne: "Mine was taller."

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.
