"Really!"
Really! by kaoldd January 26, 2011
The word "really" in true essence is pronounced REAAAAAAALLLLLYY (most effective when pronounced for 4-7 seconds), and is a phrase used to express a feeling of astonistment, being extremely suprised about a particular event or often just used as a filler untill the speaker can think of something better to say. Indivudials are advised to refrain from using the term in serious settings though.
Example 1- (appropriate setting of really)
Speaker 1: Bro i just got dome from the girl of my dreams
Speaker 2: REAAAAAAALLLLLYYY?!
Speaker 1: yeah bro i did
Speaker 2: oh true thats legit bro

Example 2- (Inappropriate setting)
Speaker 1: Bro i think i got Mandy pregnant
Speaker 2: REEEEEEEAALLLLLLY?!
Speaker 1: Dawg, im not joking that shit is uncalled for
Speaker 2: My bad bro, best of luck with that rather unfortunate situation, much apologizes
Speaker 1: I appreciate the concern

Really?
Really by hedbut123 April 7, 2019
A brief yet unoriginal way to question the integrity of a person or an act. Implies "I'm so unimpressed with this, and disappointed in you for doing such a thing." Appears on social networking sites as a way for people to share news on something that has happened in the world and state their opinion on it, but without going to the trouble of elaborating.

Perhaps a byproduct of a world with too much quick access to information, the necessity of forming quick opinions about such information, and the lack of any obligation to defend these opinions.

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.
