Unperson

A person who you had a close and meaningful relationship with and who was a big part of your life, but no longer is, usually due to a Falling Out or breakup. This person is typically an ex girlfriend, ex boyfriend, good friend, or family member that defined your past life, but seems to have vanished from your current life completely, whether you like it or not. In many cases, one will pretend that this person no longer exists, or never existed in the first place, due to negative past memories of said person.

This is synonymous with a "somebody that I used to know", from the 2012 Gotye song, and comes from the newspeak word "unperson" in the George Orwell novel 1984, meaning a person who has been seemingly erased from existence.

"Sophie dumped me out of the blue with no good reason, moved away, and never talked to me again. She's an unperson to me now, and caused me a huge amount of pain."

trucker's tan

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

Boffin

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.
