It's when you "talk" to another "twinkle-talker" by combining your eyelid movements and Morse code to send a message from a person to another while no soul can notice or use this communication method against them. This code-based messaging technique uses Morse Code, a series of short and long signals called "dots" and "dashes". So a quick wink is a morse code "dot", and a "dash" is done by a winking slowly and longer. All you have to do is learn morse code. And with this method you can actually "shine" for real, a form of concrete telepathy. The distance? Who knows? Got binoculars?
I was twinkle-talking my lawyer and nobody knew what we were talking about. The prisoner twinkle talked to his friend in jail and got his message across flawless.

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.
