Ripperology 

Ripperology is defined as being the study of the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper. Though the term has not made its way into the mainstream, those who study the case, or are simply enthusiasts are referred to as 'Ripperologists'.
This does not simply refer to finding out who the killer was, but who all of the victims were, along with various "evidence" such as the highly debated credibility of the Ripper letters.
"The study of the Jack the Ripper is called 'ripperology'."
"Who is Jack the Ripper, and why do I keep hearing his name? Why not ask a ripperologist?"

Reppertology 

The postmodern religion that worships and acknowledges the glory and sanctity of Michael Repper. This religion often references a phrase, "W.W.M.R.D.?", in relation to the Christian catch phrase, that reminds his followers to take initiative in their lives and to continually make Him, the deity of all, proud of them, as the earthly inferiors that they are.
"Reppertology guides me through life's trenches, like a mink stole bundled around a porcelain doll that is being tossed across the Grand Canyon."

"Reppertology is the anti dank."

"Michael Repper prophesies to the Reppertologists every morning on the Art Attack Live, where he acts as the authority on life itself."

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.

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.
