"Popularized in a Missy Elliott song by the same name..."

Fucking tweens and 20 somethings need to stop applying retarded, wishful definitions to words that were around before their birth. "Dealio" was not popularized by missy elliot, as it has been used consistently 20+ years before her music career got off the ground.
What's the dealio with all the wanna be hipster jackasses that fabricate definitions on UD?!

what's the dealio? 

What's the deal? Wuzzup? What it is? What it will be? What's gonon?, What's REALLY gonon? Wuzapnin? What's this all about? What's the time? What's next? Who's next?
But with a little flair. Can be:

1) a little more intimidating, as in toying with someone. (Tell me the truth.) Or,

2) just trying to sound cool (sometimes sounds FOOL or like a prick).
1) DX: "So tell me Regina. You sez you at home all night; but, my boyz seen you riding the Avenues in a black Beamah! Now ... WHAT'S THE DEALIO?!"

2) COOLIO FOOLIO: "WHAT'S THE DEALIO, Emilio? Sound like a shoddy old audio. Maybe we oughta BURY yo' stereo!"
''What's the delio?''
Like in : What's the deal (problem)with you? Damn, you've got issues...

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.
