A gesture made with the hand by placing the tips of the thumb and index finger together. Like forming the "okay" sign but shown from the backside and below the shoulder. The idea is to get another person to glance at it, earning the right to punch them in the arm. The poonstance can be negated however by the viewer putting his finger through the ring that is made by the thumb and index finger. From a game often played by young adult males.
That guy just flashed me the poonstance and I looked right at it.
A word used in the movie "Don't Mess With The Zohan." Poon is the American slang word for the female genitals, and Tachat is “Ass” in Hebrew. Add one to the other and you get a throaty word that sounds vulgar in three different languages.
Steve, how was your weekend? It was fabulous! I ended my dry spell of no poontachat!!
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
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.
