Cheerleader Syndrome 

The condition where someone thinks he or she is better than anyone else much like cheerleaders act in high school. These people are easy to spot, since they are usually snobbish and demeaning to those around them. People with Cheerleader Syndrome are usually middle-aged and are low to mid-level office management but think they run the entire company. Their attitudes make others think they are assholes; a title not entirely undeserved. Little do they know that many of their subordinates can do their job, but they cannot do the subordinate job.
Joe-"Paul sure is stuck-up. He thinks he is a gift to this company."
Bill-"Yeah, he has Cheerleader Syndrome."
Joe-" Yeah, but he needs to realize I can do his job, but he can't do mine."
Bill-"A moron can do his job....no offense to you, of course."
Joe-"none taken."

Cheerleader Syndrome 

When every action is seen as wonderful and receives exaggerated praise, regardless of how truly awful it was.
Like at a sports event when the team is losing so bad they just want the game (and their shame) to be over, yet the cheerleaders still (have to) go out and cheer 'yeah Team - you're the best'.
When what should be said is 'You Suck' but instead what's said is 'good job', 'keep at it', ... that's the Cheerleader Syndrome.
Frank: Did you see that? Why are they cheering? Doesn't anyone realize how bad that sucked?

Miles: Yeah, it was awful. Looks like the cheerleader syndrome has taken over.

Lonely Cheerleader Syndrome 

When a girl seems to hard to get and all the boys don't ask her out afraid of being shot down and thinking someone has already asked her and she has plans, but too many people think that way so no boy asks her out and she doesn't ever have plans. She is like the apple on top of the tree no one tries because they think everyone will try but in reality no one will if they all think like that.
Person 1:"Sophia doesn't have a date for prom yet?"
Person 2:"Not as many boys ask her out as you would think."
Person 1:"Oh now i get it! She totally has lonely cheerleader syndrome"

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.
