massachusettes college of liberal arts 

This is a small liberal arts based college in North Adams Ma. The resources here suck and it feels like it's in ancient times with the technology. It feels more like a high school than a college. With a population of like not even 2,000 students everyone knows everyone. There is tons of gossip, the sports suck, and best of all you can't even allow more then one person into your dorm. Absolute bullshit, the rules here are pathetic. Also there is only one street off campus you can party it and it's full of townies. Pines are the only people that actually turn up at this school.

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.
