A monster well beyond anything seen in the NBA before and an actual highlight machine. Known for his long strides, the occasional euro-step (or _gyro-step_) and the ability to hurt the rim more than any other player in the league, the Greek Freak is one of the best players in the league (arguably THE best) and virtually impossible to stop.
The Greek Freak's real name has been a challenge for everyone in the league to pronounce (Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greek: Γιάννης Αντετοκούνμπο, IPA: ˈʝanis adetoˈkumbo) so in his rookie year NBA sportcasters have given him the nickname "Greek Freak" to accentuate his unique physical skills: he sits at 6.11 tall (2.11m) with a 7.3 wingspan (2.21m).
- Harden is OK, but I'm liking the Greek Freak for MVP this year. Dude is unstoppable!
the greek family tree is weird. Poseidon and Zeus are brothers, their dad is Kronos. Zeus has Athena, and Athena has a child named Annabeth. Poseidon has a child named Percy, since Poseidon is Athena's uncle, Percy is Athena's cousin, which means Annabeth is Percy's cousin once removed. And they fall in love.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
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.
