Dermatology 

Dermatology, often shortened to derm, is a specialty of medicine. Doctors who have specialized in dermatology have generally done four years of college, four years of medical school, one year of a medical/surgical internship, and three years of dermatology residency. Board-certified dermatologists are the only physicians with advanced medical training to diagnose and treat skin, hair, and nail conditions. They can also perform surgical procedures like biopsies, Mohs surgery to remove cancer, and complex wound reconstruction. Dermatology is widely considered to be the most competitive and most sought-after specialty among top medical students.

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.
