Bow and Arrow 

Term used by weird/awkward people to describe a weapon known to the rest of the world as the bow. Just like a gun is not called a gun and bullet. it consists of a curved body, and has strings to store energy when pulled back to launch a long projectile typically with a head at fast speeds and potentially great accuracy. There are different types of bows including recurve, composite, and crossbows. Also kind of like saying eyeball instead of eye.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
