Harry Potter Nerd-off

When two or more people with the Harry Potter Syndrome have a form of 'battle' either in person, on fb, or over texting, in which they pretend they are one of the characters from the Harry Potter series. They use references from the books, recite spells and cantations, and try to make it as epic as possible. It is all verbal, unless of course if it is in person, in which case they must use the proper wand movements when jinxing or spell casting. A story-line can go along with this, made from the duelers' imaginations. It occurs spontaneouly and inner purpose of it is to show off your knowledge of everything Harry Potter and the aftermath of it is that one or all of the involved duelers will deny ever being involved in such an activity.
Dueler 1: EXPELLIARMUS!!!!
Dueler 2: *ducks behind witch sculpture* BLIMEY! Can't you just accept that Hermione loves me?
Dueler 1: NEVER! You filthy ginge, she's mine! *hears a crack as Hermione apparates*
Hermione: I DONT LOVE EITHER OF YOU!
Dueler 2: Oh yah? AVADA KEDAVRA!
Hermione: *falls to floor dead*
Dueler 1: What a shame... wanna go get some Butterbeers?

Next day:

Dueler 1: We had a Harry Potter Nerd-off last night!
Friend: Oh really?? *snickers
Dueler 2: Nooo... I dont know what you're talking about!

nerdy harry 

Term used to describe a person who wrongfully believes they are a bad ass. This type of person typically tries to make a dramatic stand for something they see as important, when - in actuality - either no one gives a crap, or they painfully botch the attempt. A nerdy harry cannot be taken seriously on any level. There is NO cost in ignoring them completely.
Greg was really passionate about this new comedy series he discovered. I realized he was a major nerdy harry when he showed me his 'amazing find' was actually a British sci-fi space comedy that has already been yanked from production due to its incredible - though not unforseen - level of SUCK.

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.
