That's a negative Ghost Rider 

The saying originated in the movie top gun, when Maverick requests a fly-by, and is denied by the commanding officer.

It was later quoted by David Spade in a 7-up commercial, and has also been used in a few other less reputable media segments.

Basically, it just means no. The phrase Ghost Rider eludes to the pilot's alias, and is an illusion to the comic book character Ghost Rider (though I don't think that is significant).
Can I have pickles on that sub?

That's a negative Ghost Rider.

That's a negative, Ghostrider. 

Everyone else says it's from Top Gun or whatever. But, yeah, no. IT'S FROM THE 7UP COMMERCIAL WITH DAVID SPADE.

It's a hipster way of saying NOOO.
Neighbor: Am I allowed to swim in your pool?

David Spade: That's a negative, ghostrider.

A negative times a negative is a positive 

1) When two negative number multiply, a positive number is the outcome.

2)Poor behavior punished leading to a positive outcome

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.
