Ceremonial or symbolic sword, made often of brass or bronze and wood, awarded to a fighter or gladiator after surviving a great number of battles in the Colliseum. Practice believed to be started by Roman gamesmen to salute those who freed themselves by struggle and their own efforts. Symbolism lies in struggle to earn one's freedom. Motifs include violence leading to redemption and ultimately freedom.
Proximo(Oliver Reed) from Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" told Maximus(Russell Crowe) how Marcus Aurelius(Richard Harris) gave him his rudius after he touched him on the shoulder..

Proximo: Listen to me. Learn from me. I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom.

underpants radius 

The distance a man is able to comfortably travel (from his bed) without pants; the average radius being just the distance to the shower.

At first we thought it was funny; at least Marshall didn't left the house without putting pants on. But his underpants radius just kept getting larger. He started getting the paper in his underwear and even going downstairs for a drink in his underwear...!

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.
