What does "tekkers" mean? I've heard it a few times but I have absolutely no idea.
I think it's 'technique' i.e. 'Tekkers!' means 'Great technique, there!'

I could be wrong and I await correction by some boomer snowflake gammon (my three pet hate phrases, along with 'Look' when it's used to try and make a point).

"touch base with"
"reach out to"
Amazed that these weren't on the first page
More recently "SJW" meaning "social justice warrior" applied to anyone who advocates being considerate towards other people.
On the other side of this cultural divide, "woke" for socially aware and "problematic" for anything which is judged not sufficiently 'woke'.

I have a strong dislike for it's not rocket science users.

I said that to my PhD niece once a few years ago. She said Rocket Science is actually straightforward and fairly simple.

It's MAKING IT WORK which is difficult.

I haven't used the expression in that way since!

I have an issue, as in I have a problem.

IT'S PROBLEM, AN ISSUE IS EITHER AN INSTALMENT OF A MAGAZINE, NEWSPAPER ETC, OR A TOPIC FOR DEBATE.
