A very popular word throughout the westcountry area of the UK, especially Cornwall. Wosson is the westcountry equivalent to what's up and is coupling of the two words - "what's on". It is usually asked as a question to find out one or all of the following;

1. What are you doing?
2. What have you been doing?
3. What are you going to be doing?
4. How are you?

The most polite answer you can possibly give to a cornish person asking this question is;

"Not much, wosson on with you?"

This implies the person asking the question has more important things going on in his/her life than you have, and copious amounts of tea should be drunk (or local ale) until these important things are discussed.
Example 1
Denzel: "Wosson Janner?"
Janner: "Not much, wosson with you?"
Denzel: "Not much Janner, wosson with you?"
Janner: "Not much Den, wosson with you?"
etc, etc, etc, Denzel & Janner are very good mates & neither want to seem more important than the other.

Example 2
Jethro: "Wosson on Gyp?"
Gyp: "Just nipping down Barnies for a pasty, you want anything?"
Jethro: "'Ang on a minute an' i'll come with 'ee!"
Gyp: "Proper Job!"

Example 3
Boysie: "Wosson maid?"
Gabby: "Not much, still trying to get over the xmas hangover!"
Boysie: "But that was 6 months ago Gab, what the bloody hell's wrong with you?"
Gabby: "I know, i'm such a girl! Anyway, wosson with you?"

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.

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.
