Negation Nigger 

An ethnic minority person who is cast in a media production (movie, commercial, TV show etc.) in a role of high social status or authority (board member, general, judge, senator, doctor etc.) with the aim of (i) appealing to the corresponding ethnic segment of the audience, (ii) soothing the social conscience of the white audience, or (iii) merely being 'politically correct'. The term 'Negation' refers to the fact that such production aims to negate that in reality the incidence of ethnic minority people is much lower or even non-existent. The term 'Nigger' is not intended as a slur, but rather debunks the (white) casters for very likely (but of course indiscernibly) using the N-word in their thinking.

The term is a 'clin d'oeil' to the Dutch rhyming term 'Excuus Truus' (Excuse Bitch) that has been use in Holland for a few decades now, after it had been invented by feminists in the seventies to mock a woman who had been appointed to a corporate board for the sole purpose of political correctness.
This was the umpteenth time that Keith David was cast as the negation nigger, when he accepted the role of a 4-star general in that action movie.

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.
