Radeon is a toxic and fart like smelling gas which is used originally by ATI ( now an AMD property but still behaves as an independent company ) in their third class and cheap graphics cards hence the name Radeon graphics which runs hot and loud and are known to burn out power supplies of PCs quite often.

Due to completely cheap and poor quality of Radeon gas graphics, Radeon gas phrase is widely used to describe something which is completely of poor quality and worthless and don't have much value or benefit and a cheap company or a product in a category. This phrase is also used to describe a product which is just insanely overpriced and don't offer much value or features than its predecessor

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.

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.
