Nerdqueen 

A woman possessing superior knowledge of subjects nerdy and intellectual, to the point that she becomes dominant to the nerds around her. Can be intensified by her physical beauty, but not defined by it.
She can quote Chomsky and Star Trek with more precision than anyone, so there is no way I'm going to win a chess match against that nerdqueen. She may as well show up in thigh-high boots and a catsuit so I can at least claim visual distraction as my excuse.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
