EXAMPLES: wing nut,
Can you grab me that drill, a #2 bit, two screws and that Fern Dobbler?

Well, here’s your problem, your Fern Dobbler is not aligned.

“What thing?”
“You know, that Fern Dobbler”

n. One who does not belong to a specific genre or group of people, but "dabbles" in a little bit of everything. One may be called hipster, or hippie, or scene, or punk, or grunge, or white trash, or nerd, or alternative, or pothead at any given time. This individual simply enjoys every type of people and cannot conform into one type.

This person may enjoy getting a little PBR on his mustache while also hula hooping and playing a tambourine in the park. He might lean against a tree, snort some cocaine, and write a parody about a statistical analysis of the Tea Party's incapability of having intelligence to the tune of a Velvet Underground song. This person may be wearing ridiculously skinny jeans for the sake of the hipster or of the scene kid. You just don't know!
Who does she think she is with her Woody Allen glasses, Bohemian head scarf, August Burns Red t-shirt, leather jacket, pleated mom jeans, ruffle socks, and Vans? She's such a dabbler.

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.
