This is a term associated with rock music, notably punk rock as this is what a given band member would yell out right before starting a song at a concert. It was made famous by the New York punk rock band The Ramones, whose bassist Dee Dee Ramone would always yell out before every song
and sometimes even during them.
"Dude, you think Dee Dee's voice gets tired from yelling 1-2-3-4! all the time?"

A sequence often used at the start of rock songs. It has several variants including "A 1 A 2, A 1-2-3-4!"

ALso the first 4 numbers!
1-2-3-4 cue brilliant rock or really lame derivative song.

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.
