pretty boy 

A good looking teenage boy, not necessarily built. Usually has a
naturally clean cut appearance, dresses well (mainly prep gear), and is very aware of his hair, skin, etc. Constantly looks in the mirror to look perfect from head to
toe. You could usually tell who has the pretty boy look (school, mall, etc.). Some are popular, which is why pretty boys are cautious of their image as to satisfy themselves while not
necessarily impressing others, although pretty boys are checked out ocassionally by girls, and well, boys too (in reference to attractiveness, or envy). Always wanting to look good does affect ones personality, as most may come off as prissy, stuck up, annoying, or definately conceited. Some however are outgoing and friendly (the ones who are aware both physically and socially).

Pretty Boy 

Very good looking young male between the age of 14 and 30 years. Pretty Boys tend to be very thin/skinny with androgynous, female looking faces (in a good way). Currently, many major fashion designers use pretty boys as their models due to their extreme good looks and ability to look good in anything they wear (or don't wear). Pretty boys tend to pay close attention to their physical cleanliness and hygiene and like to wear designer apparel (real designer, not Abercrombie, and Hollister) These tall/slender males can often be shy around the opposite sex and are so gorgeous that they can often be intimidating to females who are interested in them. It is unfortunate for those females, however, because those with the ectomorph/tall/slim body type tend be very well endowed in their private areas.

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.
