Mythical firmament of water above the earth that makes the sky blue. A literal translation of the Hebrew word שָּׁמַ֖יִם 'shamayim', usually translated as 'heavens' in English Bibles. Most notably used in Genesis chapter 1, in the first of the two creation stories included in those early chapters. Of course we now know that above the sky is space, but in space there are great expanses of gas and dust in the nebulae that form stars and galaxies. So 'skywaters' is still a fun and useful word to describe stuff up there that we don't quite understand.

In the beginning, God created the skywaters and the earth.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

Boffin

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.
