Namaskar 

A deep spiritual greeting when meeting and departing from others.

Sanskrit, pronounced "Nah-mah-skar".

It is usually said with an accompanying action - holding the palms of the hand flat together and touching the thumbs first to the "third eye" area between the eyebrows and then touching the thumbs to the heart.

It means "With all the depths and charms of my mind and all the love and cordiality of my heart, the divinity within me greets the divinity within you". This meaning is the ideation kept in mind when givning the greeting.

Related to namaste, which is often used in the same way, but which was originally intended as a respectful greeting to God alone. Namaskar, on the other hand, is always used as a greeting to other people - eiher friends or strangers.

Street version: skar.
Namaskar James! (*holding hands together and touching thumbs to third eye and heart*). I haven't seen you for ages!

NaviSkanking 

When a woman decides that the love of her life isn't enough and searches for not just one, but several men to penetrate her while she encourages her man to stay patient and await her return. She declares that this behavior is navigating as in navigating the bad waters. Usually the bad waters are only bad because she creates such storms in her life and the life of the man who deeply loves her. As the man deeply in love with her discusses her behavior with his friends, "Navigating" soon transforms into the more appropriate word, "NaviSkanking".

This behavior became highly evident in the song "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Maraz as the lyrics states that "And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating I'll be here patiently waiting To see what you find". This song has actually became the battle cry for these women as they relate their behavior to the lyrics and selfishly hope that their man (husband or boyfriend) will endure the hardships in which she has created.

It is also worth noting that this type of behavior is mostly common in the Americanized female population and is one of the leading factors to the high female initiated divorce rate that no one is talking about.
Dustin: Man I don't know what to think, after five years it's come to this... She says she is doing some navigating and want's me to hang in there... I just don't know what to do.
Justin: Bro, to me it sounds like she is doing some NaviSkanking. I think you better cut this one loose before you get an STD that you can't get rid of... Here, have another PBR brother...

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.
