Also called N'gol, Nagol roughly translates to "Land Diving". It is a ceremonial ritual made famous by the inhabitants of Pentecost Island. Nagol involves jumping from a raised platform with vines tethered to ones legs, using the length of the vines to halt the fall close to the ground. Bungee Jumping is believed to have been derived from this ritual.
Between the months of April and June, the islanders participate in the ritual of Nagol on every Saturday

nadolig llawen 

Welsh Expression.

Nadolig comes from old latin which means birthday.

since the welsh for birthday is Penblwydd, this use of 'birthday' is a specific birthday, the birthday of Christ. It casually means Christmas, but of course the word Christmas doesn't literally mean birthday at all.

Llawen means joyful or merry, so Nadolig Llawen is literally merry birthday, and casually means merry xmas.
Nadolig Llawen my friends, hope you have a good 'un.

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.
