Pit-and-Run 

A "pit-and-run" is a play on the term "hit-and-run" where a pit-bull takes the place of the vehicle.

"Pit and Run" refers to the phenomena where owners of aggressive pit-bulls flee the scene of random maulings carried out by their "fur-babies" in an attempt to avoid legal consequences. This parallels the behavior of perpetrators of vehicular hit-and-runs.
Pit-bulls are responsible for the majority of dog-bite fatalities in the United States in spite of their comparatively small share of the canine population of the country. Many of these fatalities are attributable to pit-and-run incidents. The percentage of owners whose actions are said to constitute a pit-and-run who are ultimately apprehended is not known.

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.
