S.I.S.S. 

Sudden Ice Shift Syndrome. An event that sometimes occurs when a person is drinking a beverage containing ice. As a container is tipped up to pour the liquid into the mouth, a mass of ice, formerly lodged near the bottom of the container, shifts under the force of gravity, causing the beverage to spill down the chin of the drinker. This phenominon is not observed when drinking through a straw.
As he mopped the stain on the front of his shirt, the young man who had just tried to pour the last of his long island iced tea into his mouth exclaimed "SISS!" (pronouncing the acronym S.I.S.S.)

A term coined by a Youtuber named Bricky, formed in reference to the ludonarrative and disheveled parts of the Uncharted game series and its story. It is an acronym used to refer to nonsensical moments of a form of media that an audience knowingly and willfully ignores, perhaps out of enjoyment of the media, or simply not giving a shit.

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.

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.
