drunk shaming

An entertaining activity whose purpose is to humiliate the victim for being the out-of-control drunkard that he/she is. The victim must be a person who has passed out drunk with his/her shoes still on. This person is fair game for many types of "shaming", such as being written on with Sharpies, being duct-taped, and having a bunch of shit piled on top of him/her. This has become a common practice in colleges throughout America.
Joe woke up just in time for his big job interview with a raging headache and the taste of alcohol lingering in his mouth. As he came to he realized he had been a victim of some serious drunk shaming. He found himself under a pile of all of his clothes, his TV, his computer, his bike, about 100 beer bottles, and his two cats. He managed to get the Sharpie drawings off his face, but he missed the big drawing of a cock and balls on the back of his neck. Unfortunately, his boss didn't.

Drunk Shaming

Drunk shaming is a complex ritual wherein a person who passes out with his or her shoes on, while drinking heavily with others, is bodily modified. This modification can take the form of having ones eyebrows or head shaved, face and/or body written on, or any number of everyday objects piled atop one's passed out body. Drunk shaming often focuses on sexual innuendo, so pictures of cocks on faces and other parts of the body are common in male and female victims of drunk shaming.

While some have suggested that drunk shaming is a cultural ritual aimed at ridiculing those who drink too much, it is in fact a bacchanalian celebration of rampant inebriation.
Dude, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I woke up the next morning half naked with 'BALLS' written on my forehead and duct tape covering my hair. It freaking hurt to pull off! It was like the worst case of drunk shaming ever.

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.
