A particular form of neurosis in which a person compulsively feels and expresses self-loathing and guilt simply because of their own Jewish identity, while similarly perceiving persecution and the hatred of most others for the same reason. These Jewrotics commonly blame historical prejudices (however far-removed) as well as their own upbringing, especially from the stereotypical self-esteem-bashing and guilt-placing by Jewish mothers. This Jewrotic (or jeurotic) behavior is best exemplified by the comedy act of Richard Lewis.

Woody Allen humorously acknowledges his own Jewrosis in his film "Annie Hall," in which he perceives the simple question "D'you eat?" (Did you eat?) as the racial slur "D'Jew eat?"

trucker's tan

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

Boffin

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.
