The five-fifty (550) Arm Crush is when a bottle, cup, can, anything you can drink from is placed on a bicep with the support of the forearm and the elbow pit and curled towards his/her mouth for drinking purposes.

The 550 Arm Crush has been around for more than a decade. Our motto is Crush It Everywhere and Anywhere. Keep those Elbows Up, folks. Like the mullet and the el camino before that, the 550 Arm Crush is a sign of someone looking to Get. After. It. You can "chug" a drink, but everyone knows it's better to CRUSH one and to also CRUSH life day in and day out.
I want to Crush this, that, him, her or the other thing so I Arm Crushed my drink and promptly took care of business.

My defensive move in beer pong is the 550 Arm Crush. Even if they hit the final cup your opponents will be so impressed that they will give you the W.

Some say 550 is a way of life. I don’t trust those people… and I also don’t trust anyone with two first names or, as Coach Bobby Finstock would say, “any woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body”. However, 550 is a way of absolutely crushin’ it when necessary. You just found $20 in your jeans from 3 weeks ago? Awesome? Yes. But also 550. That smoking hot girl at the end of the bar just gave you her death stare? Well, that sucks. But that baboon fart you left for her is definitely 550. Your hometown team just won after a 28 year drought? 550. It’s solid, great, super, domination, sick…etc…all rolled up into one. It’s a response to almost anything which makes zero sense, but somehow works. Like 550 the Arm Crush has been a staple among this group for over a decade now. If you are looking to crush it one night or every night go with the 550 mindset and everything will be Easy.

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.
