Nicecore 

Nicecore is a form of entertainment showcasing from the protagonist interacting with other characters in a story with altruistic actions and a optimistic view on others and the world around them.

While they may already have or, end up doing so for others throughout the story, the protagonist inspires them to do the same: just be nice.

Being nice no matter what. Because we never know what someone else is going through. And if you can be that shining light for them - even in a brief moment; of holding the door for others, letting someone go ahead of you in a check out line who has fewer items than you, saying 'Thank you're with a smile, or even just a smile - those seemingly "insignificant" moments can change someone's day. They can change the world.

Even if someone doesn't reciprocate, don't let it change you. Move forward and continue on your mission to be the one to change someone's else day when the moment arises.

Altruism isn’t a passive force. Mister Rogers used to say, “Love isn’t a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like ‘struggle.’ To love someone is to drive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and right now.”
Mister Rogers' show is the inspiration behind the idea of nicecore in tv shows and movies. We wouldn't have movies like 'Paddington 2' if it hadn't been for his show.

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.

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.
