how was the fall 

A meme made by the Undertale community, and the "How was the fall" phrase came from a old Undertale song made by JT Music. This phrase was suddenly reused by the community as a meme, and made several edits on the song.

For example, an edit that makes Sans (from Undertale) in the song can only sang the "How was the fall" phrase for the whole song.

It is nostalgic, not gonna lie.

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

You say this dark/macabre humor phrase to lighten things up when both people have been discussing sad topics. You laugh a little bit because it is so bad to say and then you move on to talking about lighter subject things again. It is a segue (pronounced seg-way) / (a conversational bridge)from sad subjects back to lighter ones.

I find it very useful, although some people have not heard it before and they get confused and don't know what you are talking about, so you have to explain it to them. Then they laugh and you both move on to lighter subjects.
Wow, that's too bad that your friend's sister's hairdresser's brother got in a car accident and lost his pinky toe. (both people feel sad and there is silence and conversation is halted) and so another person says , "But other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play!" Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? And that is a shocking and awful thing to say, but it makes people laugh because it is so shocking and awful. Do not say this though if something is really really sad, because it will not lighten things up and it will make people mad and hurt their feelings.

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

A sarcastic phrase meant to reveal a deceptive statement that downplays the significance of fundamental events.
"Other than killing him, I never heart him!" ... - Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
"Other than all the names I called her, I never bulled her!" ... - Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

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.
