Probably the biggest health myth propagated by the pharmaceutical industry. The body needs both kinds of cholesterol. There is no such thing as "bad" or "good" cholesterol. The study that was done to test cholesterol as a heart disease contributor was flawed. They tested RABBITS (A VEGETARIAN) and a FOX (A CARNIVORE). Humans are omnivores. Just read your information in books and on the internet. Statins lower your risk for heart disease, but increases other major factors for deaths of other causes.

Pharmaceutical Industry Mark: Cholesterol is a bad thing, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Doctors in training: Yes, I agree with that. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah.

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.
