Peter Pettigrew 

This is a character from Harry Potter who was one of the four Marauders and everyone hates him. His animagus form is a rat and he is a rat on the basis that he sold information on James and Lily and Harry Potter's hiding place to Voldemort in exchange for his own life. Then he, who we hate, framed Sirius, who we love, for murdering 13 people and lived as a rat for the 12 years that Sirius was in the hell hole of Azkaban prison. In conclusion, we hate Peter, and Sirius never died in OotP.
Remus Lupin:
"No Harry it wasnt him, somebody did betray your parents but it was somebody who up until quite recently i belived to be dead."
Harry Potter:
"Who was it then?"
Sirius Black:
"Peter Pettigrew!"

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.
