Hipsterstep 

Music listened to by Hipsters because epic dubstep with huge drops is WAY too mainstream. Hipsterstep is music with no real drop but rather a continuous beat, and you need to be ultra-sophisticated to understand it.
Hipster- Turn off that Dodge & Fuski crap! I'm trying to make the peace symbol in all the pictures I'm in!!!

Normal Person- No, shoo little hipster. Look there's a starbucks!!

Hipster- Ohh!! Me like!!! Maybe they have James Blake dubstep and see-through glasses!!!!

Normal Person- I knew he couldn't resist the Hipsterstep...

Hipstersheep 

This is a special breed of sheep who have 100% organic wool, infected with hipsterpes. They were bred by Niklaus Purel (the same guy who invented Purel hand sanitizer) He wanted to design a breed of sheep where he could harvest a new strain of virus, which he could use to raise the sales of Purel hand sanitizer. He didn't realize that this new strain of herpes, would become so virulent that even his cleaning product could not destroy the virus. Bred for their wool for the manufacture of wool cardigans and other types of sweaters, hipstersheep have become a serious threat for North-America. If you ever spot a hipstersheep, you should report it to your local authorities immediately.
Part of an actual news report featured on ACN: "It has been proven that hipstersheep are responsible for the recent spread of hipsterpes throughout America. The virus evolved and can now spread from human to human via bodily fluids. Be careful when dealing with this animal."

hipstersexual 

A straight, usually white, male whose sexuality is a celebration of the mediocre.

A hipstersexual finds corpulence and imperfection appealing in women. Conversely, nice skin and regular facial features are thought to make a woman look "fake" or like a "robot". Thinness makes her look "like a man". Being striking makes her look either "like a robot" OR "like a man".

Hipstersexuality is in essence a gender pathology:
- because the men themselves are striking, immaculate, and usually thin, they view these things as masculine traits.
- being understated and unassuming are hallmarks of classical femininity.

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.
