Hudson falls 

Hudson falls is the place where people actually believed Soulja boy was cool, a place where you can buy shitty weed for a modest price and enjoy the sweet smell rotting bodies and rusty tool boxes in the feeder Canal. the proper attire of a hudson faller is pajama pants and a hooded sweashirt. Businesses that actually exist here are: taco dog, phat chick's cafe and a magic shop. This shit hole was almost wiped off the map when gas leaked into the sewers and caused explosions.

Anyone who has grown up here within the last 30 years knows that it used to be a good town before the county building was built. Now anytime I tell someone that I grew up in Hudson falls they give me a dirty look and tell me their horrible experiences they have had with the locals during their unfortunate stay at summer school.
Hudson falls? That's where all the scumbags live .

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.
