The page Professor S. Snape tells the the third year students to turn to while substituting for Professor R. J. Lupin. The chapter was about werewolves.
A 3-digit spur route off I-94 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It connects 4th St/Washington Ave/3rd St (the actual end of the freeway is uncertain to me) to I-494. It is about 10 miles long. Between State Highway 100 and Interstate 94, there is a "high occupancy vehicle" lane which in the morning rush hour is used for eastbound traffic and in the afternoon rush hour is used for westbound traffic.
This is like my favorite freeway number of all time. The interchange with I-94 sucks and needs to be reconstructed though.
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.
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.
