If one has gone through a war with various stages of prolonging shock.

One who fights in battles and wars, unaware of how horrifying it really is, only to find themselves immenesly frightened; frightened by such as a clattering, a rustling, adrenaline stimuli-like head-rushing or a quickly-moving visual image or hallucination (Note, the hallucination may happen from the war anyway. Flashbacks, what have you. They are more relevant than non-war fighters.)
My great granfather was a shelder... he was under so much stress, and had so much shell shock from WWII that he ended up beating hell out of my father; even though he was an asshole to begin with and the only way to solve a problem to him was by force.

Cosmo Sheldrake 

A visionary, a quirky lad who churns out pure art. His music makes you dream of having a picnic of fruit you picked with your love, chowing down while sitting atop a tree stump in a forest far from any other humans, you're both covered in dirt and singing songs about the old gods, chunky birds, and cool bugs. He makes videos performing his songs where they blend so perfectly with the location, and it's absolutely beautiful. He puts his soul and his thoughts and his interests into his creations and he needs to be more well known for his work. His songs range from crying near a pond over a lost love to exploring an old stone castle with your lads.

bronado shelter 

Designated bronado-free safe havens. Examples of effective bronado shelters: libraries, farmers markets, museums, art installations, hipster-occupied coffee shops

Unlike tornado shelters, there's no universal wayfinding signage to guide you to safety, so emergency preparedness and education are key to ensuring your safety. Bronados form when a group of amped bros form together. Be on the lookout for visible warning signs, including but not limited to: drunken high fiving, fist pumping, backward caps, v-neck or popped collar shirts, excessive hair product and/or cologne. Audible clues include loud use of the words bro, champ and boss.
Good thing we saw that bronado shelter, otherwise we could've been subjected to high fives and found ourselves at a party with beer pong.

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.
