Derived from the Tagalog word (Dilaw) for the colour yellow, represents the colour of Aquino family of politicians. It is used as a derogatory term, usually by fanatical supporters of the Duterte administration, originally against supporters of the Aquino family and the Liberal Party of the Philippines but has slowly become a catch-all term towards critics of the Duterte administration and its allies, no matter the political affiliation of the critic or the validity of their criticism.

A term used by vehement Marcos supporters to refer to ultra-supporters of the Philippine political party known as the Liberal Party. It originates from the party's flagship colour being yellow, which in Filipino is "dilaw". Often it will be seen used as an accusatory label when someone speaks negatively of the Marcoses.

People and groups associated with the term include the Aquino family (of whom two became president and one died by an assassination ordered by Ferdinand Marcos Sr.), human rights lawyers, ABS-CBN, and anyone critical of the Marcos family for any reason (no, this is not an overstatement).

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.

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.
