Selena Quintanilla 

Selena is a Latin icon that tragically died at the age of 23 due to her murder. She was murdered by her manager/best friend on March 31, 1995 at the age of 23. Selena was a caring, kind, humble, and electric person. She had powerful vocals, good moves, and an amazing interaction with her crowd. She was the Britney Spears of Latin music back then and to this day is not forgotten. In 1997 a film was released, titled "Selena", and J Lo portrayed Selena. Selena's first language was English but later on, she started her career in Latin music and saw major success. She never ignored her Latin roots and never said no to a fan asking for an autograph. She never forgot where she came from. Her murder sent shock waves around the world and she will never be forgotten. Unfortunately, she never got to see the success of her English album because of her death. Her songs "Dreaming of You" and "I Could Fall in Love" peaked on the English billboard charts. MAC Cosmetics is also deciding to release a Selena line of makeup in her memory. Selena will always be remembered and kept in our hearts forever.

quiet kid 

The quiet kid, often the student in class that goes unnoticed. There are voluntary quiet kids, and there are involuntary quiet kids. Voluntary quiet kids are often loners, who are very self-sufficient, and can in some cases be motivated to stay unnoticed, or low-key. Involuntary quiet kids may have shy tendencies, and may actually be too timid to initiate friendship. Often labled as mysterious, or weird by classmates. Many have suffered negative lables by judgemental people such as: gay, emo, goth, 'mental', shy, rude, mean, stuck-up, and boring, which is unfair to the quiet kid, because most people (yes, even teachers), make these judgements without taking the time to understand or get to know the individual. Often the quiet-kid is not "boring" as some may suggest, but instead may not feel that the people in their environment are good for their personality, especailly with most people being so judgemental anyway.

quiet kid 

the kid that is too nervous to ask questions because they'll overthink everything/be nervous about how someone will react. also, the kid that some people say has "bad intentions" or is depressed.

they overthink too many things and hate when people say "oh he talks" or anything similar to that.
also, they don't like to talk with other people because they'll either stammer over their words because they're anxious/overthink normal scenarios and believe the worst.

they do not like being socially awkward because it can limit them from future jobs/normal conversations that they want to have.
they in fact do not know the definite reason why they're quiet, and when people ask why they're quiet, they shrug their shoulders or say "IDK".

quiet kids are typically smart and they may also have a friend(s) that they awkwardly (not rudely) talk to and wish they could have more friends and be more verbal but their nervousness and amount of overthinking make it appear impossible. the quiet kid could be the person who has encountered when a person is passing out papers and they say

"(quiet kid's name) is in this class? he never talks." they also try to speak loud enough for everyone to hear but wind up being too quiet.
quiet kid - *getting ready to talk to teacher*

quiet kid - ah, fuck it.

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.
