when referring to scoogan in a condescending tone, it is equivalent to saying a negative term based of circumstance (i.e., when referring to speed, referring to scoogan in a negative tonality would mean extremely slow). when said in a positive tonality, the same definition translates over except now using good terms.
you can use this as a descriptive word for a person as well, in which case you would use the term scoog. the same logic applies as scoogan, just for a person now.
scoogan (positive): "today was genuinely scoogan" = today was genuinely so good.
scoogan (negative): "that test was so scoogan" = that test was so horrendous.
scoog (positive): "that teacher is such a scoog, i want their class again" = that teacher was the best teacher ever, i want their class again.
scoog (negative): "that car is such a scoog, does it even work?" = that car is destroyed, how was someone able to drive it where it is?
According to Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes the origin is this: When Jason was younger, about 14, he used the "nee"-expression as a means of countering a statement just made, as in "I'm gonna fuck your mom tonight - nee". The "nee"-expression then grew and grew, but always refering to the canellation of "charge" in a statement. Thus, snoogans means to not do anything. Just the same as Wayne's world's "not!"-expression. Of course the snoogans works excellent as a stand alone-expression, but the "true" ethymology is the one stated above.
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.
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.
