Shark Week

The week during which a woman has her period. There will be blood, an uncomfortable sense of tension and a bad tempered, unpredictable beast.

Take heed during shark week. If you show signs of weakness or aggression, you will be attacked. If you get attacked, it will be all your fault, infinitely more traumatic for her and you'll never be allowed to forget it.

Man 1-"Pub?"
Man 2-"Hell yes."

Shark Week relationship 

A relationship that lasts approximately 1 week, and revolves around shark week, as this is perhaps the only thing these two people have in common. The two were brought together by their love of shark week, spent shark week together in a shark induced state of bliss, but then realized there relationship was doomed to fail when sharks were no longer a large part of their life together.
Kate and Audi had a fulfilling one week relationship, which consisted of watching shark week, making shark based puns, and posting shark themed posts on facebook. Yet when shark week ended there was a deafening silence on either side, as neither knew what, if anything, could fill the void that shark week had left. It was definitely a Shark Week Relationship.

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.
