Like spooning, butter knifing is laying together with one or more people. Unlike spooning, you lie completely straight like a butter knife and you don't even have to touch the other person. Looks a lot like planking face up or a corpse in a coffin.

Player 1: She won't get out of my bed.
Player 2: Spoon her.
Player 1: No. Spooning is gross. I'm gonna lay next to her like I'm dead. Look we're "butter knifing".
Player 2: You should put that on Urban Dictionary before someone else does. What would forking be?
Player 1: We all know what "forking" is.
Player 2: Painting your toenails is hard.
Player 3: Wait. Look. Do I look dead yet?

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.
