decemberists 

mad band named after a russian party division of the first world war. They're awesome, have three full length albums, one "The Tain EP" (in a class by itself), and one more EP.
Anonymous: How come that person in headphones is dancing like an epileptic?
Me: AND WE'LL ALL GO PRAISE THE INFANTA!!!!!!!!!!"

Decemberists 

A genre-transcending band one must actually hear to fully appreciate. Like a runaway train engineered by ragtag poets overfond of spinning literary anachronisms into exultant ballads.
Pure joy.
Have you heard of The Decemberists?
Their music makes my nipples hard.
They are that good.

The Decemberists

The most excellent historical/literary indie rock/pop band that ever hit the airwaves. Led by frontman Colin Meloy, they constantly deliver songs that take us to worlds long gone to the sound of witty lyrics and perhaps a bit of polka or metal to back it up.
Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What're you listening to?

Me: The Tain, by The Decemberists

Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What the hell's that? All I know is that no one around me listens to it, so I shouldn't either. Everyone knows that musical taste isn't what you think sounds good, it's what other people tell me SHOULD sound good.

Me: **slaps forehead** Well then I'm telling you that it sound good and you should listen to it. In fact you WILL listen to it, or I WILL shove your #$@!ing damned Green Day®™© CD up your little ultra-conformist ass.

decemberists 

The Decemberists are one of the best indie rock/folk bands out there. Keep an eye out for their soon to be released album "Picaresque". It has "The mariners revenge" track, which is possibly the best lyrical song ever written.
You: Hey, I'm bored of my music, got a recomendation?
Me: Check out the Decemberists, they're amazing.
You: K, thanks.

Decemberitis 

Decemberitis is a late NFL season disease that affects the Wade Phillips Dallas Cowboys during the month of December. Symtoms include, inability to complete passes, chronic interception syndrome, being sacked multiple times, random loss of hand-eye coordination in clutch situations, poor performance in the playoffs, and general embarrassment in the eyes of the local media.

There is no known cure and those who suffer from Decemberitis are doomed to a career of mediocrity.
After a pitiful display by the 2009 Dallas Cowboys and the lack of production during the 2010 season in the month of December, it appears that there is still no cure for Decemberitis.

Decemberitis 

Also applies to Wade Philips coached Rams, Jason Garrett coached Cowboys.
Coach Clapper can't escape decemberitis.

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.
