Shannara

Always fishing for compliments or comfort in people who really just don't care.

Shannaro 

I took to research mode and I stumbled upon a blog post by Chie Nakamura, the voice actress for Sakura. She actually directly addresses the meaning of shannarou. she asked the director for the meaning and he said to think of it just like konnyarou. some of you may know that this is a contraction of kono yarou, which means 'you bastard' or whatever.
I had come across another fan theory somewhere on google groups (by native japanese fans) that shannarou was a further contraction of yossha (right!) and konnyarou. that makes a lot of sense to me.
I'll get you! Shannarou!!

Shannaro 

This is a Japanese slang that does not get used in everyday language but is instead (very rarely) found in manga/anime. It is a corruption of joudan ja nai yo (冗談じゃないよ) which is a colloquial term literally meaning "this is not a joke" and can be loosely interpreted as: "stop kidding around", "don't fool yourself", "stop messing around", "you got to be kidding me", "yeah, right".

A character by the name of Sakura Haruno (春野 サクラ) in Naruto uses this a lot and many people attribute the usage of this term to the manga series. Since the word is corrupted (noted with personal accentuation), so has the meaning within certain contexts in Naruto, which defines or embodies an emotion or expression of an adrenaline rush or great excitement: "hell yeah" and "f~ yeah" is a common fansub translation.

It is commonly mistranslated as "what the f~" or "hell no" because the term was never used in that manner (given the context of a situation) and was never used as a pejorative (a handful of fansubs have taken this term to the extreme)
You think you can step up to me? Shannaro!

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.
