metaphor. to flip the script. you lead your listener to believe you're speaking about one thing; but you are speaking of a completely different topic. you show them your left hand so they cannot view what your right hand is doing.
John Q enjoys dressing in the latest of designer fashion. He has diamond studded necklaces with matching bracelets and watches. He is seemingly the embodiment of "new money". On the outside.

In reality, John Q is a backpacker. He enjoys romping about in sweatpants and a tanktop listening to early 90's Hip Hop. De La Soul. Tribe Called Quest. Del The Funky Homosapien. Devin The Dude.

You warhol someone when they believe you are doing one thing; but you are doing the polar opposite.

Andy Warhol 

An artist whose legacy has been completely trashed and reduced to kitsch by the modern-day hipster populous.

Ironically enough, Warhol probably would have enjoyed this, as it would have meant money for him (thank you, Urban Outfitters and The Andy Warhol Foundation), which, at the end of the day, was all he ever really cared about, to the extent of alienating some of the only people who ever truly cared about him (Edie Sedgwick not included).

Pull a Warhol 

To defend a mediocre artwork by explaining what it's "really" about, often using obscurantist language and references to other, better, artists. Named after Andy Warhol, an American pop artist and frequent defense shield for lazy, unimaginative and derivative artists.
1. Lady Gaga pulled an epic Warhol in that interview.

2. Bob: But you don't understand, Jesse. You don't actually dislike Frank Zappa, you just don't understand his hidden depths. *insert ontological treatise here*
Jesse: Bob! Don't pull a Warhol on me. You think Zappa's great; I don't. Let's leave it at that.

andy warhol 

Very hip figure in the 60's when he was the poster boy for Pop Art and hip culture. He died of gallstone surgery at a young age. Unfortunately increasing numbers of annoying rich kids are discovering him and trying to be 'deep' by dropping his name into any and every conversation.

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.
