Deletitis 

A condition marked by an urge to clear your inbox by batch-deleting all your unread e-mail, regardless of content.
Your inbox is peppered with unread messages going back three months, because you only ever read messages that appear important at the time you're checking. Eventually, you become stressed out every time you open your email and see something like "New Messages (257)." You then have an attack of DELETITIS which involves selecting all unread messages and deleting them, regardless of sender or subject. Now it says "New Messages (0)." Now you're caught up.

On phone: “Sorry I missed the family reunion, Mom... Yes..., I kno... yes, Mom, I know you emailed me the date and time but I had deletitis last week. Yes it IS an excuse... Yes it is... Is too... Is too...”

Deletionism 

Deletionism (noun deletionist) is a Wikipedian Philosophy advocating for deleting unpopular or famous stubs. Deletionists want Wikipedia to be similar to a paper Encyclopaedia. So, Wikipedia would have only a few, very long, articles.
Deletionism is quite irritating. They don't support whether or not the information on Wikipedia is valid, or can be expanded, they take the easy way out. They delete it rather than edit 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.
