BHA (Based on Health Advice) 

During the covid19 outbreaks in Australia between 2020-2022 Politicians often drove their own agendas by implementing a law or rule and justifying it by saying "Based on Health Advice". This started with the best of intentions but ended up a little self serving and crazy, particularly in places like Western Australia where they full on took the piss and you could pretty much say "Based on Health Advice you're going to jail"!
The public caught onto this and it became common to use this as a sarcastic tag line when making an excuse for getting what you wanted or making someone else suffer. This was called a BHA or "Based on Health Advice"
"BHA (Based on Health Advice) you're shouting dinner".

I said to my girlfriend "BHA you're on top tonight"
"Sorry dude BHA you're not invited."
"BHA , i'm riding shotgun"
"BHA you're on dunny duty"

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.
