A gritty and angry little nickname I coined as a child for my peripatetic father who frequently left me at home in the boring United States while he traveled all over the world having interesting adventures.
I was standing at the front door for what seemed like the hundredth time saying goodbye to him and after glancing downward at his worn, blue suitcase, I uttered, “See you sometime, Suckass Samsonite, have a nice trip!”
the worst type of a sucker. this is the dude that gets the raw deal. being a suckass sucker is something that nobody strives toward. somebody who gets stuck doing something totally boring while his/her friends are out doing something fun.
me: i just won a trip to vegas. i can take one friend. do you want to go?
friend: no, i can't. i have to babysit my cousin this weekend. i can't even watch the big game.
A situation or event, however, not a catastrophe, that you find yourself in that reallysucks.
I was supposed to have a telephone interview today for an awesomejob. My phone never rang and a voicemail appeared 5 hours later, what a suckasstrophe!
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.
