Literally means he or she that was born with a silver spoon. Adebola is a 'forever young' soul who lives life today like there's no tomorrow. They love enjoyable experiences and cringe at difficulty - in other words, 'won wa ye to le' i.e they cannot come and go and kill themselves. Life is always good to an Adebola and times when it isn't, they make the best out of terrible circumstances. They have a Saviour personality; they come into your space and make things brighter, fresher, newer and their personality radiates through dull and tough seasons.

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.
