The nickname for the city of Melbourne , Vic. Don't know who came up with it , some homeless guy just told me to spread it around. I did and he didn't think it was enough so he threatened to torch my home and kill my dog if I didn't get global. I then decided to put a definition on urbandictionary.com
Larry - "Where ya from brah? We blasting some Hilltop"

Benjamin - "I'm pretty sure they're from Adelaide"

Larry - " Yeah but one time they met this guy whose cousin was friends with someone who was born in Burn City , yeah Burn City! So that pretty much makes them from here"

Benjamin - "What? That doesn't even make se-"

Larry - "Look anyway , Bliss n Eso have been reppin Burn City for decades"

Benjamin - "I'm about 90% sure Bliss wasn't even born in Australia , let alone Melbourne"

Larry - "Fuck you're a cunt aye. Burn City doesn't need you. Bitch.

AKA Melbourne, Australia.

Currently run by Mayor Robert Doyle. Little Robbie sits extremely right and has publically announced he hates bogans – such irony as bogans too are a racist lot, predominately have white skin, often have low to no social morals and live only for the next cash injection.

People often waste valuable breath comparing Melbourne and Sydney.

Visit both and you will see why travellers are begging for the time they wasted in Sydney back.

World's apart within a few kilometres
Anonymous expats drifting through the metropolis
Close my eyes and vision a new apocalypse
Revenge of the everyday folk, burn down the city and regenerate growth
Watch the flames rise like the end of Waco
Skyscrapers fall in a breath of grey smoke
What happened to the corner stone, you don't celebrate or support your own?

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.
