The delivery of an intellecutally effective, usually humorous, ironic and often quite exquisite tongue lashing - coined after the exploits of Christopher Hitchens, a successful 21ist century author and political commentator.

European Trailer Hitch

When you dock your lady on the womb snake and run around backwards until you run out of gas.

Armless Hitch Hiker 

This situation in which an individual finds themselves armless and also in desperate need of a lift somewhere. Rather than sticking out their thumb in hopes of getting a car to stop for them, they are left with no choice, due to lack of arms, to expose their rock hard dong out from their fly to simulate the same effect.
Man1: Oh shit I just remembered I'm gonna have to hitch hike to the Vietnam memorial service, but I lost my arms in the war!
Man2: No excuses! You still gotta dick ain't ya? Looks like it's the armless Hitch hiker for you...
The process of utterly obliterating an opponent's entire (usually religious or political) argument, usually in one or more succinct or terse statements, orally or in writing; employed almost exclusively by Christopher Hitchens.

Examples can be found in nearly every Hitchens debate, occasionally in articles, and in the form of entire books, about subjects or people.
Christopher Hitchen's book God Is Not Great was effectively one long Hitchslap to organized religion.

About twenty minutes into the debate Dinesh d'Souza got Hitchslapped and never really recovered from it.

Hitchens was a guest in a Fox News segment the other day. He Hitchslapped just about everyone on there.

It was funny the other day when Sean Hannity invited Hitchens on the show and tried to be a smartass, but was abruptly Hitchslapped for his trouble.

Hitchens Rule

A person can't discuss the virtues of water boarding in the press or on TV until they themselves have been water boarded. Named after the late journalist Christopher Hitchens who had himself water boarded to experience the torture method so that he could discuss it with better insight.
A person would invoke the Hitchens Rule in social media when someone who has not been the subject of water boarding, begins to describe it in glowing terms, or that the act is not actually torture.

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.
