Shortened and made to sound funnier than "Noob Tube", the phrase "Nub Tub" refers to the game Call of Duty 4 where someone will attach a grenade launcher to one of there guns and go around shooting grenades at their foes. However this act is seen as being completely childish and is actively looked down upon by everyone else in the game. You will notice that there is a "Nub tubber" in the game if you hear more than one person on your mic shouting "Aw F***! There's a nub tubber". Despite the humiliation these noob's will face in the postgame lobby, they are still proud of their accomplishment to kill people in a complete and utter noobish way.
Post-game lobby:
Nub tubber- "Yea! I got my acog on my P90!!"
Non-noobish player- "You f*cking nub tubbed the whole time!!"
(Everyone leaves the room on account of the nub tubber)

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.
