Keep you safe 

"Keep you safe" or "stay safe" is an ambiguous and vaguely menacing phrase to keep people in line, a bit like when a gangster offers a business protection in return for a small fee. In order to stay safe, one must avoid things such as scientific fact, critical thinking, divergent opinions and basic civil rights. Instead, follow the soyence, and get all your misinformation fact checked. This phrase used to be known as "for your safety" or "for security purposes".
"We are installing cameras in all restrooms to keep our customers safe."

"In order to keep you safe, you must follow our guidelines and abandon independent thought."

"We want all our stakeholders to stay safe. That is why they will have to have microchip implants to access basic amenities. To keep you safe.'

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.
