La meme de perfection, mais perdue 

Is there a word, an online friend queried, for that experience of knowing the perfect meme to fit an occasion, but being unable to find it? There is now. In the vein of the word "riposte," in the spirit of "es·prit de l'es·ca·lier" (a repartee thought of too late, on the way home), we bring you "la meme de perfection, mais perdue": that moment when you know the meme you want...you just can't find the meme you want. This sentence is intended to be used as an exclamation, for emphasis.
"My friend posted the most ridiculous article about Trump the other day, but I can't find the meme I want to reply with! La meme de perfection, mais perdue!"

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.
