When you like someones status comment, picture comment or wall post on you're facebook.

You don't do it just because you like the post or comment but because you envy it so much you can't think of anything better to comment.
for example if their joke is too funny and you can't top it, instead of trying a comment back you just like their comment, to save perhaps embaressing yourself or wrecking their comment or post.

Other examples are when theirs no need for a comment and you're just showing you're envy of their facebook comment or post. this can be on your facebook or someone elses, see example 2.

Not to be confused with a Pitty Like
Your status: Just watched the 40 year old virgin, it was fucking great.

Mark's comment: Awh man i I love that movie
You're comment: You know how i know you're gay?
Mark's comment: Because you're gay and can tell who else is gay?
*You like this comment*

Dude1: Man mark tottaly got me in my status about that new Judd Apatow movie, I had to give him an Envy Like.

Dude2: Yeah I seen that, it was a clear envy like, that could be embaressing if you guys werent good friends..

Example 2

Craig's status: Just had amazing pizza, weed and sex with my girlfriend multiple times on each front.
*You like this status*

Like Envy 

the jealousy-triggered condition from which other Facebook friends suffer when comparing their own paltry number of "Likes" on a status update with someone else's, posted by a person who consistently reaps "Likes" by the dozens.
Jimmie: Holy crap! Did you see how many "Likes" Jill got with her status update about her amazing landscaping skills?

David: No! I'm still reeling over how many she got when she posted a picture of her sneakers!

Adam: Guys, guys. Just listen to us here. What have we become? We have a full blown case of Like Envy.

Amy: Homos!

Jill: Hahahahaha

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.
