A phrase that has been popularized by the critically-acclaimed TV series "24," who's main character, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), uses the phrase as his trademark. A vulgar phrase a person says when they are angry or frustrated. Also spelled "damnit" or "dammit."
(Based off of a scene from 24's Season/Day 6-Episode 2)

Jack Bauer: Mr. President, you don't want to kill Assad! Abu Fayed is the one behind these attacks!

President Wayne Palmer: I'm sorry, Jack, but our current evidence suggests that this is all the doing of Hamri Al-Assad. You do not have any conclusive evidence that Fayed is behind this.

Jack Bauer: Sir, I just escaped from Fayed! He told me that and I refused to die for nothing so I broke free to save Assad!

President Wayne Palmer: I'm sorry, Jack. Truly I am.

Jack Bauer: Damn it!

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.
