A tool; a sheep; one who blindly follows trends and majority rule on account of being too stupid and/or insecure to think for themselves and express their own views.

Chris actually had no problem at all with classic literature, but because he was a complete milquetoast automaton, he laughed along anyway with his Sigma Chi brothers at the guy reading Candide at the neighboring table in the library.

He was embarrassed when his grandmother walked into the garage and caught him in the act of autobation.

A few of the pages of his 'Car and Driver' magazine were stuck together, no doubt a result of an unhealthy car fetish and an incessant need for autobation.

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.

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.
