A Sarah Palin 

A pathetic attempt to elaborate on a faux pas by fabricating even more untruths rather than admitting to your blunder.

(Re: Palin's account that Paul Revere was ringing bells to warn the British, and the efforts following to validate her erroneous account of events).
My teenager wouldn't get up this morning, insisting that there was no school, and when I referenced the school calendar, he pulled A Sarah Palin by explaining that in 2012 it'll be a Saturday, and technically there is no school, uh, in the future, on this day, and that the school bells didn't ring yesterday so he knew they were going on and jumping ahead to the 2012 calendar...ah, since there were not that many seniors this year anyway. In fact, he didn't need to go to school at all. Anymore. Because of no bells.

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.
