Selfless Act 

An act devoted to others' welfare or interests and not one's own. A self sacrificing act, that benefits others... performed by a truly selfless person. At a time when people need it most!
Person 1 - "My friends are living their lives too dangerously. Booze, drugs... Someone needs to show them it's not a sustainable lifestyle"

Person 2 - "What we need is a selfless act... They just need to see that you can die from living that lifestyle. Looks like it is up to me!"

(Person 2 has a near death experience after jumping off a balcony. person 2 survives with some lasting injuries. But due to that selfless act. His friends see the error in their ways, and change their lifestyles)

Selfless Act 

When you do something that has no actions on yourself. Like if you jump off a building, no one cared so you're self-less.
When you are the only one that likes your definitions that is considered a 'selfish act'. I mean selfless act. My bad.

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.
