phonebooking

The art or practice of throwing stolen phonebook(s) at an unsuspecting bystander, usually done from within a moving vehicle at night. The phonebook does not have to hit the victim nor skim them, but merely be projected in their generally direction. The launch is then often followed by a tagline such as "Jigga What!" The target is usually left speechless, and before they can even begin to process the event, the vehicle is out of sight. Going around for multiple hits on a single target is optional.
"We went phonebooking last night."

"And then a fuckin PHONEBOOK flies out of nowhere, hits me in the chest, and they dissapear while shouting 'HOW DA YA LIKE THAT?' ... I have no idea who the hell they even were."

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.
