That time period after marching band season when you don't know what to do with your life. It usually begins towards the end of November, leading to weight gain due to the upcoming holiday season and lack of regular exercise that one had previously.

Man, I'm having serious marching band withdrawal right now. I don't start my homework on our old rehearsal days until 9.

Marching Band Withdrawal

That feeling you get when marching season is over and you really miss it. You actually have free time now, but at what cost? It's when you really miss late night football games, and contests, and being with your band family 24/7, and sometimes you get so desperate you even miss band camp and all the hours of exhausting rehearsal.

Symptoms include excessive crying, watching past show videos, playing through old show music, and just standing on the marching field for no apparent reason.

Person: Bro, why are you locking yourself in your room with a glass of grape Koolaid and a box of tissues?

Me: Leave me alone, I'm gonna go listen to all my old marching shows and cry.
Person: Dude you're only a sophomore, you still have two more years!

Me: Yeah, it's just marching band withdrawal

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.
