When a friend cancels plans or stands you up and then later blames it on his/her significant other. Note, however, that in actuality, it might just be your friend being a prick and looking for someone to take the blame. Formerly "wifed", but extended for today's sexist society.
"Bob never showed up at the bar last night. He called today and said his girlfriend had a headache so he had to stay home."

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.
