If you were up $8,000 and now you are only up $6,000, then you are 'upstuck' $2,000 even if you only entered the game with $4,000. This creates obvious psychological effects to how people play while gambling despite their actual buy in.

Uptick

Uptick was especially popularized during the Covid era and essentially means an increase in number of a particular statistic or measure. It is often accompanied or by a graph or visual representation of the reported increase. The media, in particular, seem to be fond of using this term.

During the second wave of the pandemic there was an uptick in the number Covid cases being reported.

Twenty Stick-Seriously-Fracked-Up-Stick

This is simply the year 2019.
When viewed from above, it does look like twenty stick-seriously-fracked-up-stick.

(From a video description of a drone's aerial video on YouTube)

Flight took place in the airspace over Nowell Ave. in Juneau AK. USA at 1:46pm PST on 02-21-19 (or, "2019 21 Feb." or even, "February 21, Twenty Stick-Seriously-Fracked-Up-Stick" if you prefer).

Weather conditions at flight time were mostly sunny, temperature was 18°F (-7.8°C), and winds measured with my "rotten garter snake poddy* yellow" portable "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were from the NNW at 2.40ph (3.86kph) at the surface and aloft.

trucker's tan

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.

Boffin

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.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
