Region Rock 

A style of Punk music based in the southeast United States including but not limited to Chattanooga, TN; Asheville, NC; Huntsville, AL; Miami and parts of north Florida; Dalton, GA; and areas of Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Virginia. It is characteristically tough, melodic, and catchy, but based more on geography and community than a particular sound.
Future Virgins, Rice Harvester, The Grumpies, Forced Vengeance, Twat Sauce, and Queerwulf are just a few examples of bands based in the southeast US who create the uniquely raw, emotive and melodic style of DIY Punk Rock known as Region Rock.

Region Rat

One who was born, raised, educated, and worked in a Northwest Indiana steel mill.
Taken from a combination of Mill Rat, ( someone who worked in a Steel Mill,) and "The Region", ( the Lake, Porter Counties)
In Northwest Indiana. Region Rat was a marketing ploy by the Indiana Tourism Dept. about 1990 to promote the area.
I am a proud Region Rat. I was born in East Chicago, Indiana, raised in the Hessville Section of the City of Hammond, Went to Harding School, and the Old O.P. Morton High School on Marshal Ave. My Great-grandfather, Grand father, Father, Numerous Great-Uncles, Uncles, and Cousins worked for Inland steel. I and my brothers worked there for a total of 70 years between us. I had 35 years.

If you know Where the "Mill Gate Inn" , Little Red School House moved from, or where "Mount Baldy" is, you may be a Region Rat.

region lock 

A technological measure to prevent you, the consumer, from enjoying content that you paid for because it's from another country. Virtually all DVD players have this built in, as well as video game consoles. In the USA , it is illegal to modify a device in such a way as to defeat the region lock. This evil invention allows hated countries (that is countries with a race that is not preferred) to get movies and games last while Aryan countries get them first, and it makes the authentic legitimate original less valuable because of the restrictions put on it.
The fact that there is a region lock on my game console reinforces my stereotype that the U.S.A. is nowhere near a free country.

A region lock is a hate crime on a chip.

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.
