Filter episode 

A 'filter episode' is an episode in a series that doesn't quite add anything to the storyline or have anything to do with the main plot. It is merely an episode that appears to be something to lengthen the series, or an episode that is used because the producers have run out of ideas and do not want the story to conclude just yet.
Example 1:
Jeff: "Dude, yesterdays episode was crap! It didn't even mention what happened last week!"
Ken: "Must've been a filter episode"

Example 2:
Stacey: "Ugh, another filter episode! When are they going to continue the story?!"

“Yeah I know right it’s actually ass.”

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.
