Grass him up

Fuck with someone's world in a major way; so much so that no one, including his employer, his circle of friends, his family, shit... even his damn dog/cat hates him. Generally, it means jacking any relationships he has, hacking & scrubbing his laptop and/or smart phone, key his car; you know, basically screwing up his

whole world. Btw, it also works with the softer, smarter gender, although you have to be much more stealthy with women.
I swear, if he doesn't call in the next 20 minutes with a GREAT excuse and heartfelt apology for missing the night of all nights - when I just know he was gonna propose, I'm gonna grass him up, majorly.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
