Oongalingang

A term coined by the infamous internet troll Brian D. Traditionally used when engaged in verbal combat with his enemies, more often than not within the virtual battlefields of 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege'. A first-person shooter game, in which players utilize many different operators from the Rainbow team. Legends have it that Brian D's microphone was once so obnoxious, a single uttering of the appellation would send his adversaries into a domain of pain and suffering, known as the 'Shadow Realm', for thousands of years (or one minute in real world time). There, they would live amongst creatures damned and ghouls so foul, their fragile minds would turn ultimately weak, leaving them to return a soulless simpleton, with the short, short temper of a ravenous African bee. The result? for the rest of the game Brian could enjoy silence. His enemies would torture him no more.

Brian.D: Oongalingang! Oongalingang!
Frodo Swaggins: *Silence*

onya by RJ57 March 10, 2014
Somewhat mysterious awareness of what's happening or will be happening around. It is often confused with unagi, which is likely an English transcription of Japanese word 鱼炙, meaning grilled fish and often referring to a popular Japanese dish of eels. Oonagi, on the other hand, is likely an English transcription of Japanese word 悟机, which means understanding the signs (of the universe) and is often seen in spiritual and martial arts literature. Such understanding enables one to sense what might be or will be happening and therefore avoid danger or be prepared for it.
It is said that Master Tashin acquired oonagi after 49 days of meditation under an old pine tree in Mount Asahi. He was often seen going back to the palace (that's usurped by his evil brother) but the guards were never able to seize him.

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.
