Short for Not Safe For Work (or Not Suitable For Work), which includes things like: Pornography, gore, fetishes and other shit. If any of your co-workers or your boss finds you watching NSFW, it's gonna be embarrassing and you'll get fired. Watch it at home at your own privacy.
Worker: Huh? This is interesting... "Anime girl has a fun time"
*sees hentai and hears moaning*
Worker: Oh shit! I better clear this NSFW crap and clear the history before anyone sees it!
Boss: DID I JUST HEAR MOANING?!?
Worker: No sir, it was just "business" ;)

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.
