Barely legal!
Boomer – a term used by people in their 20s or 30s erroneously deployed to describe people slightly older than themselves
Corollary: "Millennial" - a term used by Boomers and Gen X-ers to disparage "the youth of today," some of whom are now into their 40s.
Not really STW-unique terms though.
"Excel Gurus - help!

Gurus ists assemble.
Just no. Epic man fail followed by will you tutor a complete numpty through it, stage by stage, with schematics, maybe come round and do it for me!

STW IT professionals spend every moment of their lives checking out the latest tat in Curries, & are more than willing to spec a computer to your exact budget/needs by using psychic IT abilities

Heavy hitter - someone stealing a living
Cat aids- diagnosis for any ailment of any body part
Surely that should be 'cat aids - the bad kind'?
I absolutely loathe the pretention of the usage of 'quiver' in relation to having several bikes to choose from. Seriously, are you off to some kind of an archery event?
Have you just invented the Summer Games Biathlon? I'd be down for that.
I assumed it was a MTB bastardisation of Quixotic
"!" appended to the name(s) of the person- typically a politician- who is the subject of the thread e.g. Keir! Starmer!

Right wing – anyone who doesn’t physically vomit at the sight of a member of the Conservative party
