A slang or term used for someone that's been killed/murdered, especially from gang-related violence. The term “packed up” refers to “packing” up the victim in a body bag or casket.
Roger: Did you hear what happened to TJ last night? He tried to show his new gang that he can hang!
Bryce: So? Isn't that what new gang members are supposed to do?
Roger: Well, he DID show he can hang, but they left HIM hanging when one of their opps popped him. He got shot in the leg, his gang left him behind, the opps walked over, and he got packed up.
Bryce: That's just horrible! TJ was such a good kid! Too bad he got caught up with the wrong people. Hope his Mum is alright!
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 murdererused a serrated blade.
