Bohemian W.A.S.P. 

Bohemian W.A.S.P. (1943 – Present day)

Bohemian W.A.S.P., slang. (Bohemian, Czech, or in a modern sense, Eastern European in origin or ancestry; WASP, White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) A person usually from but not limited to the geographic proximity of the City of Chicago that is of Eastern European ancestry being utterly inculcated into the contemporary American Eastern Establishment in beliefs, manners, mannerisms, dress, and education. The bohemian W.A.S.P. is so thoroughly indoctrinated into this system that even he or she is oblivious to his or her assimilation, let alone others of the Anglo-American ruling class.
A recent example of this phenomenon that is currently in the fourth generation took place at the W________t restaurant in San Francisco. “I was completely baffled when the man at my table gave me his credit card!” Says Clarence __________, a waiter whose name is also somewhat of a Bohemian W.A.S.P. derivative. Clarence continues: “The man was tall, about 6” 5” with blond hair and blue-green eyes. He was reading the linear notes on the sleeve of a Benjamin Britten Compact Disc, possibly the War Requiem. I overheard his wife with striking patrician good looks talk about Milton, and how difficult the Latin translations were at Yale.” “I truly thought I was in the presence of the real thing, especially when she referred to her son as “Harold the IIIrd”.
“When he paid with his American Express Black Card, the one made of tin, I was thinking maybe Rhode Island, or parts of Connecticut but to my surprise the name on the card read: HAROLD THORNTON REJCEKOVONOVICH. Wow! I thought. I’m in the presence of a Bohemian W.A.S.P!”

A slight sub variation is also known as White Anglo Saxon Polish.

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.

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.
