We Believe You, Captain America 

A deadpan, snarky response to an unbelievable series of events that is related to you by a friend or co-worker. Taken from the classic Lee/Kirby issue of THE AVENGERS where Captain America is found in the Arctic, having been frozen in a block of ice since the end of World War II.

After he is thawed out, Cap relates the following tale: "By some fantastic stroke of fate, I must have been frozen in an ice flow, and then found by some eskimos who thought I was a supernatural object. Then, all those years, being in a state of frozen suspended animation must've prevented me from aging."

The rational response to all that malarky? "We believe you, Captain America."
Frantic Guy: I'm sorry I'm late! I was riding my bike here & nearly got hit by a plane making an emergency landing! I freaked out & slammed into a fire hydrant, flying over the handlebars and right into the arms a visiting Sumo Wrestler!

You: We believe you, Captain America.

Captain America 

Ok enough with sexual definitions for this man. They are disgusting & do not tell a new reader who Captain America is. Here goes accurate non sexual definition of this superhero. He is a fictional character in Marvel comic books. Joe Simon & Jack Kirby created him in Captain America Comics #1. Captain America was a patriotic supersoldier fighting Axis powers of World War II & Marvel's most popular character in WWII.

Wears a costume with American flag motif & a nearly indestructible shield he throws at foes. Usually alter ego of Steve Rogers, a frail man enhanced by an serum to aid US in WWII. In 1945, he was trapped in ice & survived in suspended animation until revival in present day. He remains respected in his community & became long-time Avengers leader.
First Marvel Comics hero with media outside comics with 1944 movie, Captain America. Been in other media,like the MCU portrayed by Chris Evans.
No superhuman powers, but through Super-Soldier Serum & "Vita-Ray", he is at zenith of natural human potential. Rogers' body replenishes super-soldier serum; it remains. In canon, he's one of the best hand-to-hand combatants in Marvel Universe. Formula enhances all metabolic functions & prevents build-up of fatigue poisons in his muscles, for endurance far above an ordinary human. This causes extraordinary feats, like bench pressing 1200 lbs & running a mile in 73 seconds. Captain is resistant to hypnosis or gases which limit focus.
That's the correct definition of Captain America, folks. If u want to read stories starring him, head to ur local comic store or online to buy his Marvel Comics issues.

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.
