A prolific French philosopher who explored existentialism (ass-hole-ology) and is very often scoffed at for having turned down a Nobel Prize, which he denied by saying (paraphrasing) "I'm pretty crazy and still super angsty."

An avid Marxist, he was actually kind of a homie to the jews who lived in Russia during the solvency of the Soviet Union.
One time my girlfriend quoted Sartre in a fight. Needless to say I dumped that bitch asap.

Jean-Paul Sartre 

A French philosopher, political activist, novelist, and playwright, among his varied portfolio. His philosophy primarily concerned existentialism, in which he was highly influenced by Heideggar, Husserl, and the founders of the subject, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. His ideas on existentialism have come to define the subject. Among his numerous highly-acclaimed works, his most popular include "No Exit," "The Wall," "Being and Nothingness," and "Nausea."

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.
