Photo Ninja 

A photo ninja is a person who, rather sneakily, poses in the background of a photo, unknown to the subjects of said photo. Photo ninjas can be anybody, though they typically are the kind who dance with themselves at parties, talk to the corner, engage in no social action, etc. They are nothing like real ninjas, except that they are silent and they deal a fatal blow; that being the ruining of photos everywhere.
Today, the modern photo ninjas is of the Facebook variant, which means that their main goal is to boost their Facebook "pictures of" count. They lie awake at night, sweating, maybe panting, in anticipation of an email telling them that "______ has tagged a photo of you on Facebook". At which point the pump their meaty fists in the air and celebrate this victory. Thus, they focus their beady eyes on the soon to be marked comment space. Pounding the F5 key in hopes of a comment from a hot girl who's photo he ruined.

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.
