Enter Sandfan 

Metallica "fans" who have heard no songs by Metallica unless it was off the "Black Album".

Usually don't even know what album the songs are off of and usually only know 3 songs at maximum by Metallica

In most cases, an Enter Sandfan is also a Poser
Person 1: "Hey nice Metallica shirt"
Person 2: "Thanks! I absolutely LOVE Metallica"
Person 1: "That's awesome, what's your favorite song by them"
Person 2: "Definitely 'Nothing Else Matters' but if I'm feeling extra wild I'll put on some 'Enter Sandman' "
Person 1: "Oh... so you're an Enter Sandfan..."

enter sandman 

quite the controversial tune. it is Metallica's first song off of their self-titled fifth album AKA the black album. Some claim that it is the song with which they sold out, others claim it is their magnum opus, and still others just think of it as another song from the album. it is really up to you. it has some iconic guitar riffs, solid drumming, terrifying (lyrically) vocals, and a fairly epic guitar solo.
1. Guy:aw, dude, i dont listen to metallica any more because they sold out with enter sandman.

2. Guy: holy shit, enter sandman is the greatest song EVAR!!!111!!!

3. Guy:enter sandman? oh yeah, i remember that from the black album.

The Enter Sandman Effect 

This effect occurs when a song becomes tarnished by the amount of times you hear it, no matter how good the song may be it ends up annoying you. You realise the effect mostly on songs you initially like.
The Enter Sandman Effect occurs most notably (in my opinion) with:
Enter Sandman - Metallica
The Pretender - Foo Fighters

Enter Sandman Delima 

A song that is by a popular group which has gained mass praise for the general consensus that is good, and is what the group is known for.
X: Do you like "Get Lucky"?

Y: That's an Enter Sandman Delima for me.

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.
