A person who offers an unreasonably low amount for something they are trying to buy. Typically an offer of 30% (or lower) less than the asking price is considered a low ball offer.

Item X is for sale for the amount of $1500.

Low Baller:
I'll give you $1000 for your X.

Seller:

If someone is selling 1 ounce of weed for $100, the low-baller will offer 1 ounce of weed for $75 in order to make a quick profit and killing the competition regardless of quality. The 100 an ounce might be of good quality with no stems or seeds, but the $75 bag will be regular crappy american skunker with stems and seeds. The low baller here is riding on making a quick buck driving the market prices down.
Geek squad offers a service for $249.99 to come to your house and fix your PC. Most people around my way will do it for far less. like $50 dollars. thats geek squads fault. I hope they go out of business.

low-baller

Somebody who makes an offer for goods/services which is absurdly lower than asking price. They attempt to "start low" to haggle you down to a price that is unreasonable.

I've been trying to sell the 24" Lorenzo rims from my Escalade on Craigslist, but I'm only getting offers from broke, ghetto ass low-ballers who waste my time. They act like they're serious buyers, then they show up and offer me half the asking price.

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.
