Turnstilin' 

When, during a very enjoyable night of drinking with your friends, one friend decides at the last minute to go home, for example by hanging back and not walk through the turnstile at a train stop after all the other members of the party have gone through on the way to the next bar, thus decreasing morale of group.
Pat: Sandeep, why are you going home early? We're so close to the next bar.
Sandeep: I'm just tired...
Pat: Sandeep, you turnstilin' son of a bitch!!!!

-Pat jumps over turnstile and pushes Sandeep through the turnstile, thereby negating his aforementioned turnstilin' behavior.

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.
