Sky Sailing

Friend: Oh, I prefer his project, Owl City. The auto-tune makes him sound nice.

Friend 2: I think he sounds PERFECT either way!

College Sailing 

The only sport on campus where you can compete and travel with members of the opposite sex. Must be adept at hiking out (hooking your feet under straps while hanging your butt over the edge of the boat) in all weather conditions and leaning in (to the bar) after the regattas. Typically a good sport for engineers who like the physics of how boats work and business majors who enjoy the sport's social side. College sailors will learn fun new vocabulary words like croakie, burgee, halyard and roll tack. Many students join college sailing teams for the cool swag.
I joined college sailing so I can travel to regattas, meet preppy guys and party at the yacht club.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
