umberella 

In point and purpose, similar to the widely known umbrella, but for a few differences. First, in functionality, it works to deflect metaphorical "rainstorms", as in hardships, trials, etc.. rather than actual, physical rain. Another notable difference is that the role of umberellas are not typically played by innanimate objects, but rather actual people. Perhaps the most notorious umberella is Rihanna, of which there is actual documentation of her acting as an umberella and protecting whoever she is "umberellaing" for during one of these spiritual torrents.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
