Jack Syndrome 

A disease where the afflicted individual falls hopelessly in love with another guy or girl. Symptoms can be split into first and second stage.

During the first stage, the victim becomes hopelessly obsessed. As of now, all observed first stage victims have reported a month of first stage Jack Syndrome; one extreme case reported several months. Other symptoms during first stage Jack Syndrome can include nonstop thinking about the individual, insomnia, and extraordinary increase in vitality and energy.

During the second stage, the victim's obsession over the individual decreases over time. Victims have reported experiencing second stage Jack Syndrome for anywhere between a few months to a few years. Other symptoms can include depression, increased addiction to an activity (studying, working out, playing video games, etc...), and periodic thoughts about the individual.

Reverse Jack Syndrome 

Reverse Jack Syndrome (RJS) is the opposite of the syndrome Robin Williams had in the movie "Jack." His character's affliction caused him to grow physically old while still being young in terms of years - RJS is the reverse of this. A person with RJS is relatively young and young-looking but acts and feels as if he/she is approximately 70 years old. For example, a person with RJS is almost always cold, regardless of temperature (this leads to wearing unfashionable slippers at home); has trouble hearing, thus the TV volume is always very loud; likes food commonly associated with old people, for ex. meatloaf and salisbury steak; has trouble with new technology; has preferences in terms of music, books, and culture in general that are usually linked with old folks; and is generally crabby, with the demeanor of a cranky old person.
"Jimmy, why is it 90 degrees in here? WTF?"

"Its cold in here."

"Ah, must be the Reverse Jack Syndrome acting up again."

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.
