y/a is "Your age". I have been trying to search it but no one defined it 😅. Usually, a writer of fanfiction sometimes includes the reader in the story, making it second-person POV. Here's some examples:

Y/N (Y/N stand for "Your Name", also is usually used by a writer of fanfiction): Yes!
M.I.A.'s response to Y.O.L.O., based on her Eastern cultural heritage. In Hinduism it is believed that people are continuously reincarnated, so it's acceptable to do something more than once.
"Why does everyone keep saying Y.O.L.O. and then doing the same stupid stuff? It's such a waste."
"Yeah, back where I come from we say Y.A.L.A. before we do stupid stuff cuz we know we're not wasting any time in this life. But then they invented karma to make us feel bad."

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 murdererused a serrated blade.
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.
