Limology 

Not to be confused with limnology or limophilia, limology is a substudy of microbiology, and the study of slime, other moist, vicious fluids, how it is produced, and how the word "slime" used to mean sap or resin. It is also a rare subject to be taught in schools and colleges.

Etmology:
Limology derives from the Latin word "limo", meaning "slime" (Just like the word "limophilia"), and the Greek suffix "ology", which means "the study of". "Limology" can be loosely translated to "study of slime", hence its definition.
Phil: Wow! I got an A+ on my limology test! wOOt!
Greg: That's funny...I got a C- on mine.
Phil: LOL, what did you get that grade for, Greg? Limophilia? Because your fetish is the reason for your low grades! Burn!

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.
