Nick Clegg 

A Nick Clegg is a character with political promises that seem reasoned and optimistic in an age of austerity and financial setbacks for a nation, but in the oppurtunity of gaining political power and the oppurtunity to enact them, do the complete opposite and compromise all that he stands for and worked towards when he actually gains political office
Nick Clegg: I promise to cut taxes for the poor, improve services for the disabled, and cut the tuition fees for undergraduates in universities.
...
Nick: Where do I sign david?

...

Nick Clegg: we are now increasing the VAT to 20%, decreasing the provisions in the Disability Living Allowance and increasing tuition fees threefold. I feel dead inside, for I am Nick Clegg.

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.
