Dead by Daylight 

A 4v1 game in which killers and survivors must work together to avoid a terrifying creature known as Nea Karlsson.

Nea is a powerful being that stalks and kills those who she finds.

Many characters have their own abilities to protect them. Dwight has an ability that lets him hide in lockers indefinitely. Claudette can go invisible when near tall grass. The Hillbilly can use his chainsaw to run away extremely fast. The nurse can quickly get behind walls by blinking through them. Feng Min is a great distraction, though she never lasts long as a result...

In the end though, Nea finds and kills ALL survivors.
Person 1: Wanna play some Dead by Daylight?

Person 2 : Ugh. It's always the same. You run away from Nea as fast as can and that's it man. It's so boring!

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.
