In the wake of the CO-VID 19 pandemic, which occurred in the spring of 2020, the Youtube gods attempted to crack down on the hysteria by demonetizing content that contained the word 'Corona', 'Virus' or '19' in any variation, especially in that specific succession. So in an effort to avoid divine punishment, humanity made the collective decision (headed by Dan Avidan of the Game Grumps) to henceforth refer to the virus only as the 'Backstreet Boys Reunion Tour'.

Seven people in my town died after attending the Backstreet Boys reunion tour.

Backstreet Boys

The band EVERYONE grew up listening to.

If you trash on them, you're trashing on your childhood, so don't be such a prick tickler and appreciate them for taking you where you are today, musically.

I'm not advocating the revival of the Backstreet Boys, they're dead. But your 8 year old self would kick you in the nuts if they saw you hate on them now.

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.
