An otherwise great form of shopping where you can buy whatever you desire without a single interaction. Except for the fact that the item takes a fucking week in order for it to get to your house. I mean god damn, you'd think that with all the planes and drones we have nowadays it'd be quick but nooooo, it has to go through processing bullshit, which apparently takes even longer than shipping it across the country. We have to wait 5-7 days before we actually get the item we want, and if it's coming from over seas it takes even longer. And don't even get me started on shipping fees.
*Me online shopping*
Me: Wow an awesome Rubik's cube. (clicks buy)
(4 fucking days later)
Me: It's still not here >:(
Online shopping at work. Since the shopping is being done during work hours, any items bought are to a certain degree financed through the shopping process itself. The degree of financing stands in a direct relationship to the time spent shopping.

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.
