Like a haberdashery, but for badasses. Rathers than bowties and cufflinks, a habadassery sells leather jackets and explosions.
Currency in a habadassery usually takes the form of flying kicks, boners, and bullets to the face.
It is a little known fact that habadasserii (the plural spelling) actually existed before haberdasheries. Haberdasheries were created to cater for young men with more money than cojones, hoping to earn valuable street credits from fine tailoring rather than rough fisticuffs.

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.
