ambulance chaser activists

Fracktivist

An activist for social and environmental justice who is against the process of hydraulic fracturing also called fracking. Fracktivists have united globally to prevent the negative impacts from fracking such as massive freshwater consumption, hazardous chemical spills, billions of gallons of toxic waste byproducts and earthquakes. Fracktivists generally take non violent direct action by holding forums, rallies, action camps, marches, blockades, contact blitzes, tree sits, locking themselves to equipment and occupying corporate and government spaces to overcome the high dollar PR campaigns of the Oil & Gas industry.
From New York to California and around the globe, fracktivists have united to save the planet by a common call of "BAN FRACKING NOW!"

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.
