banana etiquette 

When you get a banana for yourself, you have to offer to get one for any other member of the tribe who happens to be in your general vicinity.

Violation of banana etiquette was part of the reason James got voted off at Tribal Council on Survivor (March 2010).

James also violated banana etiquette by taking several bananas for himself at once. So he failed to offer fellow tribe mates a banana AND took more than his fair share.

Always remember that poor banana etiquette might get you voted off the island.
"Leona totally violated banana etiquette with those donuts in the breakroom. She didn't tell anyone they were there and scarfed down three before lunch!"

"Leona, bring me your torch. The tribe has spoken!"

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.
