"Oirish" is a term coined by amused Irish natives to describe anything associated with the tourist cult of Ireland that paints it as the land of shamrocks, blarney stones, leprechauns, and Guinness.

It can also be used to describe anyone who despite many generations in the new world and questionable Irish ancestry constantly proclaims themselves to be Irish. This can range from an innocent baseball cap with a shamrock on it to a drunken twit in a kilt idiotically greeting everyone with a faux accented "top o' the mornin' to yah laddie".
Phill : Oh look it's J. do you see that the twit brought himself a shillelagh.

Robert : Yeah I see. It's great little costume he has there you'd almost think the oirish twit was auditioning for a part on Ballykissangel.

American Tourist : Put a Shamrock in Me Guinness.

Bartender : ::Tosser::

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.
