interjection for surprise, boredom or a description for a really shitty deal. Used largely and frequently by Maracuchos (from Maracaibo, Venezuela) to denote such feelings
A conversation in a bar that is so loud that the people having the conversation can't hear each other well enough, so they simply start responding with the responses of "WHAT", "YEAH", and "OKAY."
As a result, the conversation begins to resemble a song by hip-hop / rap artist Lil Jon.
An example of a "Lil Jon-versation," as described taking place at a crowed, loud dance club:
A-"DO YOU WANT A BEER?!?"
B-"WHAT?!?"
A-"I SAID DO YOU WANT A BEER?!?"
B-"YEAH!"
A-"OKAY!"
...Person A Goes to Bartender...
A-"TWO BEERS, PLEASE!"
C-"WHAT?"
A-"I SAID, TWO BEERS, PLEASE!"
C-"OKAY! WHAT KIND?"
A-"WHAT?!?"

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.
