A player in a pvp game so terrible at the game or one that makes such a grave mistake, often to the advantage of an opponent, that you start suspecting if said opponent secretly paid them for that screwup. An example would be if a soccer goalie failed to save a very easy to save shot, some audience may suspect the goalie accepted bribes from their opponents to let in an extra goal or two.
However, its most common usage is not to actually accuse players of accepting payment to play worse as such cases are very rare in online games with randoms, but to make fun of people who played so poorly they look like they did.

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.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
