I don't like you in that way 

What a girl says to a guy "friend" when he tries to express feelings for her that go beyond friendship. When a girl has a guy "friend", this almost always means that he is interested in her, which is why he hangs out with her, but she almost always sees him strictly as a friend.
<Girl> You're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way.

*translation*

<Girl> You're a great guy, and you have all the qualities in a guy I'm looking for, but I'm not going to be your girlfriend. I will, however, use you as a basis for comparison for all other guys who hit on me, but I'm going to be with someone who is far less nice, and who is probably an abusive alcoholic. Then, if he doesn't work out, I'll move on to another guy, but still not you. In fact, I will never be with you, but I will call you from time to time to complain about the guy that I am with.

I don't like you in that way 

A nice girl’s way of trying to spare your male fragile ego instead of saying flat out that they don’t like you and probably want you to leave them alone.
Nice Guy: So do you like want to go on a date with me friday night? *man I really want a piece of that ass*

Nice Girl: I'm sorry Charlie, I don't like you in that way.
*This guy is creepy, I don't want to offend him, he might turn into one of those stalkers.*

…in that good way! 

…in that good way! — An expression used by the character William Knifeman in the ground breaking series Reservation Dogs.

This series was to First Nation Native Americans in the 2020’s what Roots was to Black Americans in The 1970’s in terms of stellar prime time representation of a major ethnic cast with a positive representation of cultural love; and cultural self-awareness,

A sprit, William Knifeman would appear riding a horse. He is a trickster figure who asks more questions then offering answers; and, he is inevitably at turns both hilarious and heartbreaking.

He once blessed a Sonic tater tot by asking it to protect and nourish the body of the character that was eating it and to help with cholesterol …in that good way.

A most infectious saying!!!!!

This series is perfect for a Sankofa viewing and is best watched in a circle. One you finish all four seasons of Reservation Dogs, immediately watch it again as though you were reading Finnigans Wake.

The story of a people never ends, it continues in a cycle…in that good way.

And representation matters!

Mvto!!!!!
You can’t hold in your joy or your pain. You have to offer them both into the circle of your people — all of your relations…in that good way! Then the circle can never be broken. Aho!

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.
