periodic pump-handle pacification 

Refers to da playful vigorous arms-bobbing dat you smilingly give a small child (usually a boy, but a fairly-sturdy girl may enjoy this, as well) every so often during a visit to his folks' residence, whenever he comes around wanting a little attention. Usually a few seconds of grabbing his hands and shaking his arms up and down while making "URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh-URuh!" sounds will happily satisfy him for at least a short time; usually he will patter off and play again, and then you can continue conversion with his parents for a while until he scampers back to you for another "helping".
I always love giving little kids generous doses of periodic pump-handle pacification as a way to keep them satisfied and entertained while I'm engaged in other activities... it's totally fulfilling and attention-giving for them, it's a great way of bonding with them, and it's 100% calorie-free --- i.e, I never get in trouble with their parents for giving them candy or for "feeding them rich snacks before supper" which would make them less hungry for whatever blander-tasking health-food that their parents want them to chow down on instead.

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.
