Potatoes. 

A word for when you find yourself ranting of what seems like random, irrelevant nonsense and wish to terminate the line of thought.
Computer Programmer: Here, take a look at this Jimmy. Now I know these four pixels don’t really mean much to you right now, but using this function I’ve made I should be able to draw an image on the screen at a specific position relative to the top-left corner of the display. You see, I store the data of the image as a list of RGB values which have to be ordered in this very specific way to maximize storage space. It iterates over every 3 numbers in the data list to get each pixel’s rgb color channels, and uses the width and height of the image to figure out where to put it. This function will also accept hex and hsv formats, which are just different ways of writing colors, and is very cool but does take some advanced type checking in the background, so perhaps I’ll split these functions into separate 'loadHex' and 'loadHSV' functions so it doesn’t have to check each time, not sure, maybe I’ll make this a library...do you think i should use classes for this…OOP is really cool nowadays……….... hmm……….. but yeah, this is like, the most awesomest incredible thing because this makes it possible to upload custom images if I can figure out how to extract the rgb pixel data from a file……. this opens up a whole new world of possibilities for my oddly specific use case..that you don’t seem to quite understand or grasp?um, Jimmy………. are you even listening to me?

Jimmy who lives down the road: …………………………..Huh?

Computer Programmer: ……………………………………….well……..*sigh*……………………………………… Potatoes.

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.
