Informatise 

Derived from the French word for "computerized," informatise is a blend of inform and advertise.

Informatise means to advise and educate about the helpful uses of a product or service in a way that is not propagandistic or mindless.

The process of informatisation aims to enhance the knowledge base of its target audience thereby enabling them to make more informed decisions.

Informatisation usually takes place through or with the aid of a technological medium such as a tablet PC like Apple's iPad or iPhone.

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.
