johanphobia 

The fear of a ginger Swede who casts girls under a mysterious spell. While under this spell, girls are noted to ignore the ginger red locks and fall head over heels for him. Once under this spell, girls will fall into his trap of trying to pursue him further only to be lectured outside rooftop nightclubs and subsequently rejected. Girls under this spell are also likely to scream angrily at other girls under this spell from rooftops of dorms. Innocent bystanders are also at risk. In conclusion, one should avoid ginger Johans at all costs, and if one just so happens to fall into a Johan spell, it is advised that they avoid rooftops at high altitudes.
Girl 1: "Me and ginger Johan walk around and talk about life. He's actually pretty cool"
Girl 2: "Johan did the same thing to me, except this was the first week of classes. Asshole."
Girl 1: "Ugghh this is exactly why I hate him. I definitely have johanphobia."

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.
