remove.

Alpengeist 

Genuinely the best B&M invert. Glorious pull through the inversions, phenomenally intense, whippy but not too whippy, genuinely the best ride at the park by a mile. I want to bust every time I think about this ride. I swear it gives me MASSIVE erections, making my dick longer than the queues on a Howl-o-scream weekend. Absolute cinema from start to finish, “we used to goon to ts” ahh coaster.
Mr. Bolliger: “So what did you say you favorite B&M invert was? Great Bear?”

Me: “No, it’s Alpengei-i-i~~~” *busts a HUGE load on Mr. Bolliger for blessing us with the one true lord and savior Alpengeist*

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.
