testimate 

Much like an estimate, testimating involves making approximate calculations. The difference comes in practicality, in that a testimate can be reviewed for accuracy before a true figure is established or revealed.

In this sense, it serves as a careful means of answering or prephrasing a question. It is something that is reviewed before the impending action or thought is undertaken.
In order to see if my new chair would fit through my front door, I had to testimate how wide the chair was, so I used my hands as a ruler to see if the chair would make it through. It made for a great testimation.

I want to conservatively testimate how many people will show up to my rock concert this evening, so I will say that the room will be half empty.

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.
