a catchphrase said by "that guy" in Futurama Season 4 Episode 9 (Futurestock) emphasizing his 80's style.

Nowadays, people usually say it for camp value... especially since even in the 80's it was slightly tacky...
FRY: (whispers to That Guy) Hey, buddy... I'm from the same time as you. Remember that song, Safety Dance?
THAT GUY: Sure do! We can dance!
(starts humming 'The Safety Dance' and Fry follows)
FRY: Y'know, that dance wasn't as safe as they said it was.
THAT GUY: I tell you; Two go-go 80's Reaganauts like us... we could rule this world!
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.”

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
