A small white sea-dwelling creature that lives near the "fjords" of Norway. One of Norway`s first kings (Harald Hårfagre) loved Fiskeboller so much that he decreed them to be the Norwegians national dish. Fiskeboller are hunted by placing small cylindrical traps bated with "kraft" at the sea bottom. Fiskeboller does not move fast so there can be up to 20 of them in one trap when it shuts. The traps are then gathered, labeled and placed directly in the store shelves at "Rimi" to ensure total freshness. Fiskeboller are shy creatures so they are rarely seen outside of these traps. The Fiskebolle has a less popular "cousin" called Fiskepinne.
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.
