ryerson engineering 

The faculty with the most innovative, faced-paced, and challenging degree programs at Ryerson University.

Contrary to popular stereotypes that Ryerson is a "high school", the Engineering degree very much entails a curriculum obviously only found in higher education institutions.

Engineering students can usually be found drowning in work, unable to attend parties, whining about their GPA, and not engaged in romantic relationships with other students.
Person 1: He goes to Ryerson University.
Person 2: Lol I bet he's a dumbass
Person 1: Actually no, he's in Ryerson Engineering. I got mad respect for him.

Non-eng student: Hey girls! There's a party tonight. Wanna come?
Girls: Sorry, we're engineering students.
Non-eng student: ...Oh okay, maybe some other time I guess ;)
Girls: Probably not.

A college that still thinks its a university, much like western being a 4 star vacation resort. Engineering is good at ryerson, but overall is a very mediocre school, especially the business program.

ned ryersoning 

That thing where you keep meeting someone when drinking and introduce yourself, forgetting you've already met them because you were drunk last time you met. Based on Groundhog's Day where Ned Ryerson (Stephen Tobolowsky) keeps introducing himself to Bill Murray's character, unaware they've been in the same situation many times before.

It works better if you end the awkward re-introduction with "Bing"
"Hi, I'm Mac"
"I know."
"We've met before? Was I drunk?"
"Yes to both."
"So I'm Ned Ryersoning you right now, arnt I?"
"Yes."
"Bing."

Ryerson University 

A university in the heart of downtown Toronto. And contrary to popular belief, Ryerson *IS* a university, albeit a very non-traditional one at that which makes this institution unique.

Ryerson is aptly located amidst the hustle-and-bustle of the city, which has often labeled Ryerson University as having "street cred." This is a school where, on comparison with other insitutions in the area, the students are not snobby, not obnoxious, and just generally really open-minded.

Ryerson is well known for its Business, Image Arts, and Media (Journalism, Radio, etc) programs. Ryerson also hires some of the coolest professors to lecture the courses (the Pop Culture prof looks and acts like Jack Black, seriously!) Ryersonians are collectively known as the Ryerson Rams, who happen to kick quite a lot of arse. Ryerson is also particularly well-known for boasting a fine-looking student body. ;)

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.
