Big man by Tylerliktosk8 July 21, 2021
A member of a group who is able to assert physical, mental and psychological dominance over the other members. A Big Man also needs to possess a significant set of skills in a particular field whether that is academics, sports or a professional career. Big Men compared to ordinary peoples have superior experiences and skills in nearly all aspects of life. A Big Man will often due to modesty, humbleness and superior morals take credit away from themselves and instead praise others. A real Big Man will never call themselves a Big Man.

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.
