French Laugh 

A laugh often heard by American actors acting French. It sounds like a person with a stuffy nose saying "oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh". Try it yourself by pinching your nose or breathing through your mouth while saying it.

On the Nickelodeon TV show "All That", the French character Pierre Escargot is played by Kenan Thompson. Pierre often does a French Laugh whenever he translates his own sentences for the audience.

French Laughing after scamming someone in a MMORPG can be like slap in the face! It doesn't matter what your ethnicity is, it is just as powerful as saying "AHHAHAHAHA!".
Pierre Escargot: (speaks in French) (pauses) I'm a pretty little girl. Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh!

Pierre Escargot: (speaks in French) (pauses) What time is it and why do you smell like cheese? Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh!

(In a free MMORPG game)
Seller: Hey, want to buy a super-cool sword?
Buyer: hw mch?
Seller: Make me an offer.
Buyer: k.
Buyer puts all his coins into the trade window.
Buyer: were is sword?
Seller: It's in the trade window on my screen.
Seller: Dude just click OK, it's a known bug.
Buyer clicks OK, checks his inventory and sees no sword.
Buyer: scamer!!!1scmaer!!!!!
Seller-turned-scammer: Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh! LOL what a newb!!!
Scammed Buyer: FU! FUUU
Scammed Buyer runs after the Seller-turned-scammer.
Seller-turned-scammer runs away, trades all the coins to a friend in a crowded area, logs off, changes his dial-up access number, makes a new character name and repeats his technique on others. W00T! The French Laugh strikes once again!

trucker's tan

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.
