Intro of darkness then redness then whiteness 

An action used by popular youtube comedian Toby Turner, aka Tobuscus, who does a wide range of videos, from songs, to virals, to vlogs, to gameplay commentary. To form an intro in his daily vlog series, he places his thumb on the camera lens, creating darkness, then redness, then whiteness, and sings "Intro of darkness then redness then whiteness" This is used to add an intro to the video, or as Toby often says, to end an awkward moment.

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.
