A stupid fricking website "hosting" service which doesn't allow site visitors to download more than about 2 files at a time because if they try to, then it will instead show a page that says some crap about exceeded allocated data-transfer or sh*t like that, and if you try Save Target As, then browser just acts like it is having a 404 error or whatever.
I tried visiting a site on GeoCities, but after I downloaded 2 files, it just said: "The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer. Visit our help area for more information. Access to this site will be restored within an hour. Please try again later," and refused to let me download any more files. Then I screamed at my computer.

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.
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 peecalculus.
