High Powered

1) Term which refers to the monetary base (M1), which is highly liquid money including currency and vault cash. It is given its name due to the considerable aggregate change in the monetary base that can be brought about by the money multiplier.

2) Track #12 on Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic', characterized by the use of a sine wave synthesizer. It gave its listeners a harsh understanding of the early 1990s West Coast gangsta mentality through the lyrics of Dr. Dre, RBX, and Daz.
The Fed projects that by increasing the monetary base by 1%, the entire money supply will consequently increase by 8%. Hence, our monetary base is "high powered".

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.
