V: To Goolay: done by any person in a moving vehicle, whether it be a car, a bus, a bike, or a rickshaw, who spontaneously yells out "Goolay" at unsuspecting passersby. The goal of this random utterance is to acheive the most dramatic reaction from pedestrians or people on slower moving transports. Therefore, the goolay can only be done from a vehicle that is travelling faster than the person to which the statement is issued, so that the goolayer (n) can get away if they have to. "Goolay" can and does degenerate into more base and lude statements including but not limited to "he-slut", "manwhore", "drunken witch" and "cocktoucher".
Origin: Will Ferrell's SNL portrayal of singer Robert Gulay, in which Mr. Ferrel spontaneosly utters "Goolay"
Lady: "Did you see that? That guy just yelled Goolay at me from a moving car. What a coward!"

Man: "Just be glad he didn't call you a drunken witch. Cause thats what you look like."

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.
