Couged It means to succeed in extraordinary ways. WSU's win in the Sun Bowl is a good example of this. The unfortunate arrogance and irrationality of some University of Washington supporters has promoted the opposite meaning. After the WSU men's basketball team had beaten the UW men's basketball team for the 7th straight time, a UW fan leaving the game was heard to say..."too bad, they almost Couged it" ...in fact, WSU did Coug It by beating UW at Hec Ed that afternoon.
The WSU Cougars not only have Couged It regularly in athletic competitions, but also in the many ways the University has had a positive impact on society.

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.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
