Cairns high 

A crappy high school in Cairns, far north Queensland. Although it is undeniably trash, it is probably the least trash school in Cairns.

Although that's not saying much.
Given your other options are:
A druggo at tbay
A thief at wooree
Gay at saints or monnies
Broke at TAS
A sex worker at Redlynch
or Ignored at Saint Mary's

It's important to note that Cairns high, is (undeniably) better than brissie state high - as demonstrated by just about every fanfare (a state run school music competition).

(Except that time the Cairns high symphony orchestra lost a hecking percussion ensemble)

I'm not gonna lie, if you want your kids to get an education move away from Cairns.

Cairns State High School 

The one school in Cairns that might exceed the very low bar set by the other schools. Most who go there without being in the catchment are pretentious arts students whose bragging about being "the best school in the state" is as loud as the Loves's buses at their stop drop and go area at the end of every school day.
Cairns State High School dominated the Eisteddfod today
>"smh of course they did" - the other schools, probably.

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.
