The Kids Are Alright 

The phrase originally comes from the song "The Kids Are Alright" written by Pete Townshend as part of the English rock band The Who in 1965. While it is not clear that Pete Townshend or The Who intended for this expression to have any profound meaning within the context of their own song, the phrase has been referenced numerous times across all forms of media, usually with the meaning or connotation that "the young generation are doing okay and are going to be just fine".

The phrase, as originally coined by The Who, has been referenced in songs by the Offspring, Fall Out Boy, Bad Religion, Urge Overkill, Lagwagon, Local H, AWOLNATION, The Parlor Mob, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Chloe x Halle, and more. The title of the song was also used as the title of a film and is referenced in the titles of numerous television episodes (e.g. That 70's Show, Supernatural, Ballers, and The Simpsons). It was also used in the Final Fantasy VII novel The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story, the novel having various references to The Who. It is also frequently used in various political headlines and discussions about issues affecting the younger generations.
Adult 1: "I found out yesterday that my kids have never heard of The Who. They thought the expression 'the kids are alright' was invented by someone named Chloe x Halle."

Adult 2: "I'm dying. The words you speak are killing me deep in my heart."

Adult 1: "But then they asked if I would buy them a Led Zeppelin t-shirt."

Adult 2: "Ya know.... maybe the kids are alright."

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.
