(of a woman’s body) tall, small boned, and skinny. Having an attractively lean and long looking physique like a model’s.
Women with modelesque figures are usually at least 1.75m and to flatter their proportions they wear “tall” sized clothing, which is longer but not wider.
Sometimes women only around 1.72m tall have body types that appear this way & wear certain ‘tall-sized’ apparel —usually these women are very leggy for their height.
A woman who lacks the attribute of being leggy/tall, and is also rather short— (1.60m & below, or sometimes just below 1.62m) —can be described as petite if she has a similarly skinny body and dainty-frame.
Chanel and Stella are both over 5’8” tall, small-framed, and under 120 pounds. They are often both admired and envied for possessing such extremely modelesque bodies.
being of like a paid high fashionmodel in appearance and mannerisms, but amateurish, and more often than not, the subject themselves is the only one who thinks so

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.
