Change channels 

A sudden, temporary change in personality, often creepy as hell, thought to be caused by demonic possession, as he/she who changes channels speaks with a deep, evil, echoing voice, and the eyes glow a deep, blood-red color while this is happening. A normally cheerful, skip though a field of flowers person suddenly says something like "I will feast on your flesh, and pick my teeth with your bones". Recently, scientists are dumping on the idea of demonic possession, and instead blaming it on severe and continuous exposure to insanity. Research has proven that this phenomena occurs at random, and with little to no provocation, and is a distant cousin to the shoop da whoop phenomenon.

Dude1: Dude, you okay?

Dude2: Whoa, what happened?

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.
