Urban Leftionary 

A word that describes the leftist nature of the Urban Dictionary website. It points to the "leftist" political leanings on the site, whether by choice of the site and its administrators itself or by nature of the individuals who patron the site who post definitions with such leanings.

It is used to describe the phenomenon when you first open the Urban Dictionary website and see that all "words of the day" are disparagements against Republican or right-leaning public figures, complaints about voting, and traditional conservative sayings, among other things.

The reason this is the case is because it is the modus operandi of politically left-leaning individuals take to forums, social media, and any other online site that they can edit - such as Urban Dictionary, Wikipedia, or even Pintrest - to try and edit history or create a new history in which all information points the direction they want it to. For more information, read the book 1984 by George Orwell.
Person 1: Yo, I just visited Urban Dictionary and all of the current words of the day are stupid shit like "Trump Fluffer", "Trump Lung", "Voter Fatigue", "B.C.V.", and "Thoughts and Prayers".

Person 2: Yeah, that's Urban Leftionary making itself known.

Person 1: Why tho?

Person 2: Most likely because the people who patron the site are just leftists without any actual political clout, and this makes them angry. The goal of those on the political left is to create a regime in which people are shamed, ostracized, cancelled, or perhaps worse, over any idea, value, moral, tradition, or thought that could potentially be perceived as aggressive, racist, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, or hateful.

Person 1: But that don't make no sense doe... those definitions are connotatively hateful.

Person 2: Don't try to make any sense out of it, the left is the epitome of hypocrisy. It most often utilizes facism, hate speech, violence, and intolerance to achieve its goals.

Person 1: Sounds like they just want political and cultural power, and they no different.

Person 2: That's right. Most of them are impotent of any actual power, so they take to online forums and social media to band together as a group, because their ideas are generally useless and not based in reality unless other red-faced shouting people support them, upvote, like, or emoji them.

Person 1: Ahh, now I understand why Urban Leftionary is the way it is.

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.
