"I was in my Bentley on my way to have tea with the queen but I was forced to return home due to the fact that my new restraining orders were chafing."
What you humorously tell anyone else who happens to be present when you sift through your morning mail. Usually a "grim grins" way of saying that you merely received junk mail.
Saying, "No fines, summonses, or restraining orders" is a more entertaining way of informing others that there's nothing of value/interest in the mail, instead of merely saying, "Garbage... garbage... garbage..." as you systematically flip through one mail-piece after another before finally tossing da entire 0%!$@#!& stack in da recycle-bin.
A baseball bat. Serves the same purpose as a regular restraining order, just much more convenient and much more violent. Used to get someone to leave you alone
That dude wouldn'tstay away from me, so I took out an italian restraining order on him!
A beautiful woman, typically tall, sexy, shapely and startlingly blonde, who is, upon closer inspection, completely psycho, causing the man who at first praised his good fortune to have met her to take out a restraining order against her in a vain attempt to keep her from destroying his person or property.
Leon met Clarissa in a bar and thought she was the most perfect blonde he'd ever seen, but after she started calling him 30 times a day at work to scream at him, accusing him of sleeping with other women, and keying his car, he realized that she was not a goddess, but instead a classic Restraining Order Barbie. He wound up with one missing tooth and a $1,500 car repainting bill, but at least she's out of his life now.

Ross: Uh, middle balcony.
Phoebe: Okay, now would you say that's more than 50 yards away from Sting, his wife, or a member of his family?
Ross: Yeah.
Phoebe: Then that's not breaking the law. I'm there!
restraining order.
Please tell the gentleman who keeps sending me those letters that contain words like "cease and desist" and "restraining order" that there's really no need.

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.
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 peecalculus.
