The night before Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Eve, it's a holiday that was created to circumvent the extrapolice presence and home owner diligence of Mischief Night. It involves the petty vandalization of innocent neighbors, usually by means of something distasteful, pungent and utterly repulsive that will leave a lasting impression for the next day's meal. A flaming bag of crap on the doorstep or a mailbox full of dead fish are common practices.

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 peecalculus.
