A collaborative how-to website which is written by completely random people. You can write and edit articles, even without logging in. The majority of its population are obviously 10 year olds who have no idea how to write. The owners of the website actually profit off of the volunteer work by WikiHow's users which is pretty messed up. The authors at WikiHow must think that everyone is a total idiot because the articles they write are designed retards that have no idea what they're doing. Vandals and trolls are common and will probably delete your article or replace its contents with something inappropriate if they come across it.

A stupid worthless website with pictures and it looks helpful but it is actually so dumb and useless because they are so obvious and probably made by kids 9-12 years old.
Yo, we already know this shit, so why do they keep saying Wikihow helps so freakin much. Wikihow says the things a seven year old would know.

It's basically the how-to-guide equivalent of BuzzFeed. The how-to's are often very formulaic and dumbed down, as if anything can be simplified down to 10 short steps. And most of the tips and tricks they give are common sense. They also have some of the most stupid and pointless how-to's which merely serves more as humor than anything. It's all just fast food garbage that's easy to digest but gives little value in return.

Great for skimming the surface, but if you actually want to learn something, WikiHow is the LAST place you'd want to be looking at.

A website that has poorly understanding article creators who don't really write the help properly, so it comes out really fucking funny. It's 80% recommended that you DON'T take these articles to the test.

trucker's tan 

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.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
