Find The Chomiks 

A "Find The Badges" style game on the well known platform known as Roblox. This game, like many others of it's kind, consists of looking around many areas on a map, even other realms/dimensions, to find creatures called Chomiks. The chomik used in the game originates from the website which is called chomikuj.pl, which is a website/drive used to store files and many other things. In the game are multiple community-made chomiks which all vary in difficulty. The chomiks are sorted by difficulty and some are very easy while others are excruciatingly difficult. It uses the same difficulties as the game Juke's Towers of Hell (a game that is also on the Roblox platform) because this game was developed and made by the same people who made Juke's Towers.

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.
