A fake term only used by people named Ray. The imaginary phrase is generally used to describe a hard time or messed up situation. It should be noted that as it is fake, Heat-Up can be used in any situation despite not making any sense. The made up word has no basis in fact and was only created to be part of the conversation.
Person A: Man, I’m glad I‘m finally out of that situation. It was really messed up.

Person B: Yeah, it was a Heat-Up for sure!

Person A: A what?!? That’s not a real thing. Stop making words up.

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.
