catchy jingles

A catchy jingle is a short song in an advertisement that will help the consumer to remember the name of a company, web address, phone number or any other information. Companies who are currently using them include Stanly Steamer, 1-800-Mattres, freecreditreport.com...

In advertising propaganda, this falls under "repetitive advertising", because after the consumer hears it a few times, they generally memorize it.

If you want a truly free credit report, you’ll have to remember–on your own and without a catchy jingles–to go to AnnualCreditReport.com

Boffin

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.
