North American 

A person who resides in or hails from the USA or Canada. This term is only used by Canadians, who use it in order to feel like Canada and the US are part of the same thing while most US citizens tend to forget about Canada. Canadians use this term with total disregard for the fact that the continent of North America also includes the nations of Mexico, Belize, Nicaraugua, Costa Rica, Panama, etc. But the people who live in those countries aren't, you know, white.

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.
