BBC Ghosts

A comedy series made by the six idiots or 'them there'. It is on the BBC (which should be obvious) and currently has four series (with Christmas specials). It is about a couple who move into a haunted house and the ghosts there just want the attention of the one living that can see them.

The group starred in the series horrible histories, so all the eras and references about each ghost is historically accurate, like Kitty being discriminated for her colour and the Captain making reference to 'a friend of Dorothy' (old slang for being gay)

Ghosts include:
Soppy poet (Mat Baynton), Emotionally repressed homosexual war captain (Ben Willbond), Baby child(Lolly Adefope), Tory (Simon Farnaby), PTSD(Katy Wix), Fun dad(Jim Howick), the headless one who is constantly bullied (Larry Rickard),"the gray lady"(I refuse to make a joke about her name)(Martha Howe-Douglas), Ooga booga (Larry Rickard) and the under appreciate plague ghosts. Like Walter was an artist alright. Nigel is fabulous and I know Mick killed them all, but as they said, no disagreement lasts more than twenty/twenty-five years. And they all died together in their plague pit and are experts with the boiler. They need more content. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Person 1: you really like BBC ghosts don't you, which is why you keep making obscure references.
Person 2: noo..... must've been another caveman....
Person 1: of course it is

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.
