Ricardia 

Ricardia is a micro-state that exists within the vicinity of Il Presidente. An entity rather than physical land, Ricardia is a fully-functioning state which the benevolent dictator has overseen for the past several decades.

Ricardia has a government, with officials taking on multiple roles including The Minister of Viticulture, The Minister of Warcraft, The Foreign Minister, and ambassadors to both Scotland and the Republic of Korea. The first lady of Ricardia is known as La Prima Donna, or La Bella Josefina, who has been known to cause international incidents during state visits when riding public transport.

Reports of a mole infiltrating Ricardia have been circulating, and The Minister Of War is currently investigating the reports that he deems, "outlandish", declaring that, "wasps and cats have nothing to do with any plan that a mole may be concocting. These are wild accusations."

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.
