Nickelback Effect
A concept describing a type of music which most people find detestable, but remains profitable due to a subset of married middle class women who lack enough depth to actually enjoy it.
It's your wife and her friends. They jam out to it in the car. His voice is like audible chocolate to them. They can't help it. Nickelback's concerts are mostly reasonably attractive middle aged women and a small subset of guys looking to get laid because they have already figured this out.

Boffin
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.
