Un aggettivo che nasce dall'unione delle parole "petulante" e "affettuoso". Si riferisce a una persona o un animale che è estremamente insistente e quasi fastidioso nel cercare attenzioni o nel chiedere qualcosa, ma lo fa con una tale dolcezza e affetto che è impossibile arrabbiarsi.
"Il mio cane è proprio petuloso: continua a spingermi la mano con il muso mentre cerco di lavorare, ma mi guarda con quegli occhi dolci che finisco sempre per coccolarlo."

petaloso 

Similar to the Chinese term Baizuo, petaloso is an Italian word meaning somebody obsessed by multiculturalism, immigrant rights, LGBTTQQIAAP, gender or political correctness, while ignoring mundane issues like unemployement, rule of law, poverty, social exclusion and so on. It can be mistaken for a caricature of far left, but sadly it is not. Such individuals are so concerned with virtue signaling and acting "right", to stop caring about important issues and coming out as extreme narcissists. Self hatred towards their race and culture is also common. A Petaloso is like a flower, so full of beautiful petals as empty and hollow inside.

A Petaloso can turn even the most moderate person into another Anders Breivik.
Petaloso: "Let them in! Refugees welcome! They deserve it after everything we did to their culture and their land!"

Sane human being: (Starts citing stats about immigrants crime, also about Mafia involvement in the refugees racket)

Petaloso: "Nazi! Fascist! Evil scumlord! TRIGGGERERRRRRREDDDDDDDDDDDD!"

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.
