A term coined by the shared phenomenon that people who work in tech desire to quit their jobs and go live in the woods or return to nature. The idea that what tech work involves is so physically opposed to what we do as humans, that it compels us to change our lives dramatically and go live in the woods.
Shannon? She’s been here for 5 years already— she must have Drifter’s Brain by now.
Fictional disease for when you get burned out from drafting too much and you don’t want to draft anymore. For some it can be cured, but for others it is permanent and they need to leave CAD Drafting.
1:Can you draft this part for me?
1:Damn, I can’t. I think I’m getting a case of Drafter’s Disease
Nashville has been turning out the same ole crap for years. With the exception of a few new acts like The Zac Brown Band, and Saint Luke's Drifters. SLD is a high energy band with deep hillbilly roots and a punk twist. They have a groove that gets your feet moving. You get reminded of what music used to be before computers. This is real human created music that you can't ignore. These guys are going to be a turning point for Nashville, and it is about time.
A social drifter is generally someone who travels between different social groups from year to year, never growing attatched to one person or group of people. Every person has their own reason for being a social drifter; some do it because they like to avoid problems, others because they have attatchment issues.
Social drifters never seem to have the same friends for more than a year, nor do they stay within a stereotype for very long either. These people are often confused for a bottom feeder or social climber, but for the most part are nothing close to those. They simply drift in and out of people's lives so that for at least a while they can find friends, however temporary they might be.
Every year I see that kid with a different group of friends. He must be a social drifter, always changing his surroundings.
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.
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.
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 peecalculus.
