My hovercraft is full of eels
A quote from a Monty Python sketch. Used whenever someone is trying to speak a foreign language to you, but they're either doing it wrong or you don't understand.
A Hungarian tourist goes into a cigar shop looking for a box of matches, but doesn't speak English, so he brings a badly-written phrasebook with him. When he tries to ask for matches, he ends up saying "My hovercraft is full of eels?"

Koopa-Backdash-Wave-Slide-Hover-Walk-Moon-Landing
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, characters who's walk-acceleration is lower than their traction value after wavelanding backwards can buffer a slight walk forwards to decrease the momentum lost. The walk input must be at its lowest value to perfectly execute the tech. (rough translation of inputs) Characters with low traction (Luigi) benefit worse than those with higher traction values in Melee. (i.e Gannondorf can benefit from the Koopa Backdash Wave Slide Hover Walk Moon Landing more than Luigi in terms of distance)

Boffin
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.

Pee Calculus
