Look out 

Made famous by the late Ronnie James Dio of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell and Dio. Dio would often shout at the top of his lungs in parts of a song "Look out!". Best used in context with a loud raspy voice while flashing the horns. Most commonly heard when describing an impending situation or event loosely connected to Heavy Metal.
"Look out" is also a phrase used in tribute to Dio, often yelled by rockers before they down a shot, take a drink or on hearing the opening riff of a Dio song.
*shot glasses poised - "Look out!" - shot drank.

*Black Sabbath's 'Mob rules' opening riff starts - "Look out!"

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.
