nirvana fan 

A person who is a fan of the American grunge band Nirvana, which was formed in 1987. Unfortunately, the lead singer, Kurt Cobain, shot himself on April 5 of 1994, and was found by an electrician on April 8. Bassist Chris Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl made the right choice of disbanding in order to keep Nirvana's inspiration, rather than try to find a new singer. Kurt Cobain was the only singer who could've fit the piece. No one will ever forget that. Nirvana fans everywhere are just people who were inspired by Kurt Cobain's work, and wish for him to at last find nirvana in death.
"Dude, which one is better? Pearl Jam or Nirvana?"
"Nirvana. I'm a total nirvana fan."

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.
