A mispronounciation of "bregin" originating in Guam in the 1950's by a retard named Froy Layvan (later made famous by being a subject in the experiments of Dr. Frink). Layvan tripped while saying 'bregin' and it came out 'gretchin' and thencefourth said 'gretchin' in it's place. In 1954 he was moved to the US for study where the saying caught on like wildfire.
Yes, Regina
No, Regina
Every waking hour
I spend making sure Regina
George can stay in power
If Regina is the sun
Then I'm a disco ball
'Cause I'm just as bright and fun If you've had alcohol
I rip your secrets out of you
And bring them to my master
Then I watch Regina make your life a big disaster
Disaster!
Regina is the queen But I'm the head of worker bees
I am seated at her right hand
Like a Jewish Princess Jesus
The most amazing girl you will ever meet! She doesn't think much of herself but everyone around is jealous of how beautiful she is! She is a good girl but likes to make jokes and laugh! She may be shy at first but she will be a loyal bestfriend when you get to know her! She doesn't have to look far for a boyfriend because he will come along and treat her like a princess and he will give her anything! Usually dates a guy that can go by a few names or has a unique name! When she finds this guy, she will never have to worry about a thing because he will take care of everything!
Wow, look at Gretchen isn't she amazing?
Yea, she's the kind of girl I would give anything to just to see her smile!
If u know her u know her she is always smiling and laughing. She is bold and brave and won’t back down easily. She is loving and caring and cares a lot about her friends and will defend them with all of her heart. also she can put up one hell of an arm wrestle.

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.
