Murphy's Traffic Law 

The simple fact of reality which states that whenever one is in a hurry, one or more of the following effects are experienced when driving a car:

-Chance of encountering consecutive red lights is increased.

-When in an intersection, chance of having a left turn larry in your line is increased.

-Chance of getting stuck behind an extremely conservative driver or a naturally slower vehicle is greatly increased.

Basically, the Murphy's Law of driving. If you need to get their fast, you're going to get their less quickly.
Boss - You're late.

Flunky - Sorry. 6 red lights in a row, got stuck behind an 18-wheeler, and it seemed like everyone just wanted to turn left today.

Crony - Murphy's Traffic Law. Respect.

Awkward Traffic Shuffle

Usually happens when 2 cars pull up to a 4-way stop at the exact same time, or are trying to turn onto a 1 way street at the same time. Both cars stop, wait to see if the other will go, both go at the same time, and then stop and repeat the process a few more times. Very similar to 2 people trying to go around each other in a crowded hallway
Trevor: Why were you 5 minutes late getting here
Gary: Dude, it sucks driving to your house, I had 2 awkward traffic shuffles on the way over here

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.
