Algoscopophobia
"Algoscopohobia" is a new phobia that I came up with. It means "the fear of watching someone in pain/getting tortured". I believe a lot of people have this fear. What makes it different than algophobia is that watching someone in pain can feel worse than feeling the pain yourself. In addition to that, this phobia specifcally refers to someone in physical pain, not someone in sorrow. The person who has this phobia can feel dizzy or nauseous when watching or looking at someone in pain, but even worse, when they empathize too much, they might faint or feel the need to lie down and close their eyes.

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.
