A queer and extremely rare condition that affects the ankles, causing them to shrink remarkably and give the impression that the sufferer is actually hovering above his feet.

When infected with this disease one is exceedingly embarassed to display one's feet in public, and their countenance is often kept a closely guarded secret, sometimes even more so than that of the buttocks.
"Sebestian never takes his shoes off, even on the hottest days."

"Yes, I've noticed that. Perhaps he has reubankle."

Reubanktology 

The study of persons sufferring from Reubankle, a disease that causes the sufferer's ankles to become microscopic in size. So much so that they are invisible to the human eye.

The sole purpose of studying these persons is to actually find the ankles in question.

Many different instruments are used in this study. These include Microscopes, Telescopes, Kaleidoscopes, Stethescopes, Gyroscopes, Horoscopes and the Hubble.

In past years magnifying glasses were in use by Reubanktologists across the globe. However, sufferers of Reubankle have arranged a petition, signed by many followers, to ban the use of these useful instruments in the study of Reubanktology.
The reason for this sudden desire to lead a magnifying glass-free life appears to be due to the want of Reubanktologists to use the magnifying glass as a method of magnifying the suns rays many-fold and applying singe marks on the feet, heels and shins of Reubankle sufferers.

The Reubanktologist Guild repudiated this petition, saying that the magnifying glass was the most simple way of finding the elusive ankles of Reubankle sufferers. It seems they magnify the suns rays to a pin point, and then slowly move the pin point of heat/light across the area where the Reubankle sufferer's ankle should be. When they hear a yelp they know they have located the ankle.

Apparently the ankle's of Reubankle sufferers have only been located four and a quarter times in the history of mankind, making Reubanktology an extremely unrewarding profession.
"Look at that strange man carrying a magnifying glass. He looks like Sherlock Holmes!"

"Yes, I know that man. He studies Reubanktology."

"Oh really? No wonder he looks so grumpy!"

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.
