Emotionally weary or hardened. A combination of heartache and shopworn. Conceived in 1978 for the film Heartworn Highways by Phillip Schopper, editor. The film was originally titled "New Country" and was selected and appeared in LA's Filmex under that title. The title was changed for general release.
"We were searching for a title that was more on target and descriptive of the effect of the film and 'heartworn' came to me. Nearly all these songs spoke of heartaches that had been well traveled and I pictured them as worn, like tires and old boots -- well used and been there before." --phillip schopper

"tattered, heartworn, heavy mountain jams..." from a review of Hopewell...Insound.com
Badass pimpin' move for when someone is lookin' at you funny.
Origin: Similar to The Rock's smackdown, except classier, because Angry Dan came up with it, although he didn't, he just stole it off The Rock, because Angry Dan is a filthy stealing varmint.

Similar to heartbreak, but less intense. Used when one is not in love, but is still hurt by someone they are/have been involved with.
This generally applies to the talking stage of a relationship, where nothing is official. Heartdent is only applicable if there has been any kind of physical interaction.
"Hey, what's up with you and noah? Are you guys still talking?"
"No, he said he didn't want a relationship. It was major heartdent."
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.
