ARFID
Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder - A largely unknown and extremely misunderstood eating disorder that causes extreme food sensitivities and distress when trying new foods. The most common symptom is a limited (and very poor) diet, which can cause numerous issues. ARFID commonly coexists with autism, itself a common cause of food sensitivities.
ARFID is different from picky eating in that it is not something you grow out of. It is not "immature." People with ARFID long to be able to experience food like a normal person. Unfortunately, virtually no one understands this; as a result, ableism runs rampant with this disorder.

Boffin
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.

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.
