Almost Girl

An almost girl is the one who gets close—but never quite gets chosen.

She’s the maybe.
The if things were different.
The late-night talks, inside jokes, emotional intimacy… without the commitment that should’ve come with it.

She’s the girl someone leans on, confides in, flirts with, imagines a future with—but never actually steps into that future with.
Not because she wasn’t enough, but because the other person wasn’t willing, ready, or brave.

An almost girl lives in the in-between:
• too important to lose
• not important enough to claim
She wasn’t heartbroken because she’d lost him — she was heartbroken because she’d been an almost girl, close enough to matter, but never enough to be chosen.

Almost-Girlfriend

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.
