Like begging

(verb) lyke beg•eeng (also upvote begging)

Like begging, or upvote begging, is when either people beg for likes and upvotes on YouTube, Reddit, etc. for so that they can be popular. Most people tend to dislike, or downvote, because begging for likes and upvotes is stupid.

Another thing people tend to do mostly on YouTube is post a stupid statement or question like, "this is how many people..." and have an arrow to the like button to get people to click it. This also is stupid for many reasons. Do not beg for likes and upvotes just to be popular. It'll give a bad look to you.

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.
