Alaric by Epicentr March 16, 2009
Positively the single most amazing, awesome, awe inspiring, god like figure anyone could ever possibly hope to meet. Any attempt to be better than "Alaric" is automatically a failure, even prior to its conception, regardless of the circumstance, field, or reason.
Alaric shares many characteristics with god, being omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, eternal, beneficent, loving, kind and totally unfathomable by common mortals with whom he has chosen to dwell, on the slightest of whims.
Alaric is, however, far superior to god, as he is, in addition to his many other superior traits, a total babe magnet.

May also be used as an adjective
1) OMG Its ALARIC!!! *Head explodes due to over-exposure to radiance of awesomeness

2) Thats is so Alaric. That is to say TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME!

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.

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.
