The art in which one would stare at the opposite from a far, as to allow the watcher some sort of gratification from only seeing. Most likely a guy from the ages of pre-pubescence to late teenage years (depending on how creepy that person turns out to be). This usually involves groups of people and the talk of how good looking one being watched is.

update spamming 

When a company notifies you of a product update that is a contrivance to send you stealth marketing spam. A cousin of "do you like our product, we love you spamming". Works on the notion of keeping a company name and product name in front of people so they can't help but think of you for future purchases. Still is annoying spam but most people are clueless so it is accepted.
Try as I might to avoid spam, I get plenty of update spamming since the masses are clueless and blindly accept it.

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.
