Statue of Reception

Tom- Put your arm in the air! Hurry!
Fred- Statue of Reception, nice.
Tom- Works every time..

Mr Brown is waiting in reception

"Can you excuse me for five minutes, Mr Brown is waiting in reception".

Immaculate Reception 

The most bizarre play EVER in all sports. Down 7-6, with 22 seconds remaining in the 1972 AFC Wild Card matchup, Terry Bradshaw threw a pass intended for John Fuqua. Oakland Raiders saftey Jack Tatum reach Fuqua when the ball did, and the ball deflected from him. Just as the ball seemed to slip to the ground, Steelers runningback Franco Harris scooped up the ball when it was less than an inch from the ground, and ran it in to the endzone to end the game. Craziest play in NFL history.
And Franco Harris has just won the game with the Immaculate Reception.

Lonely Receptionist Syndrome

Work-induced ailment caused by understimulation of the intellect and excessive internet access. Symptoms include frantic e-mails nobody cares about; knowledge of your 3rd grade best friend's Facebook status at all time; and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Cures include getting a better job.
Today I sent my ex-boyfriend six e-mails within twenty minutes asking why he didn't respond to my previous e-mail, from 10 minutes earlier. Had zero answers after 35 minutes, which is unacceptable. Then I posted 5 Facebook statuses about how I felt. My psychosis is obviously a symptom of Lonely Receptionist Syndrome.

Receptionista

"Hey, did you check out the new Receptionista?"

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.
