The key form of communication are descriptions of your perceptions of what the other person may be like. however, the question is does this constitute as an effective way to build a relationship especially when there are so many factors which cause confusion? Relationships require effective communication. Initially internet communication eg. emails are great for starting to get to know someone. But open forums like this make it extremely difficult to get to know what the other person is like (especially since you are making judgments on what you think the other person may be like - but is not always necessarily the truth). Relationships require mutual understanding, honesty, commitment and working together as a team.

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.
