The perfect height for a full-grown, adult, male. Men who are 5'11" are definitely not short by international height standards, according to medical research, however while slightly tall, they are not giants either. Men who are 5'11" are the perfect height for riding in vehicles, as their heads don't normally touch the ceiling of the vehicle, but they can see over the dashboard, when riding a commercial aircraft, they're not so tall that sitting in the crammed seats is uncomfortable.

According to a London based health magazine, woman find men who stand at 5'11" to be the perfect height, as they are not wimpingly short, but are not gargantuanly tall, which is perfect for the female of the relationship, who is typically shorter, to engage in kissing, dancing and sexual intercourse with her man.

All in all, 5'11" is like the bottom wrung of the "tall ladder" you're not a giant, but you're definitely not short. You're "little tall"
I am 5'11" my doctor says that it's the perfect height for my age and growth rate.

Everyone's talking about 9/11 when 2 planes hit the twin towers in 2001, but no one's talking about 5/11 in 2023 when I filled my boss's car with 100 paper airplanes. What a tragic day it was, sadface.

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.
