Strangulationship

A state of emotional connectedness between two people, where one or both of the individuals are overwhelmingly possessive.
You know your in a strangulationship when your girlfriend is overbearing. My girlfriend never allowed me to be alone with her sister, initially having no attraction to her sibling I naturally thought this behavior was ridiculous. However, after years of overwhelming mistrust her sister and I would occasionally flirt to poke fun at her ridiculousness. This ultimately resulted in wild unadulterated sex, with her sister, in the upstairs restroom at a family gathering.

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.
