Sweet-short-long 

The descriptive name of a now-famous male hairstyle. Before it was called the "sweet-short-long", it was called "hockey hair". Of course, now it is called the "mullett". But the potential for slight shifts of emphasis within "sweet-short-long" cleary make it the best choice, as illustrated by the example below:
Friend 1: I haven't seen Jackson in awhile. Does he still have that sweet-short-long?

Friend 2: Yeah, but he's starting to lose his hair, it's more like a sweet-bald-long now.

Short story long 

Something that could have been told in a more concise way but is dragged out because the teller doesn't know how to tell a story. It's a play on the annoying clarifier, "Long story short," people use to sum up a digression, which really never seems to be that short anyway. So instead you say the opposite.

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.
