Ex.2: I saw Jerry get his shimmay on at the bar last night.

Further Examples:
Jenny is quite the shimmay; her idea of a good time includes playing golf, watching movies, and chatting with her friends.
The opposite of someone who would be considered a "shimmay" or a "shimmarian" is someone who typically likes to "party" in the old fashioned sense of the word (dancing, drinking, etc.)
Another example of someone acting shimmay would be some guy totally shredding a guitar while keeping a very straight face.

shimmay bauw 

excessive force of the 'playa' voice, invented by the great and powerful johnny, led to this statement. taking the teaching of ol' dirty bastard and referring to the lyric "shimmy shimmy yah, shimmy yam, shimmy yay" under the 'playa' voice, the word became 'shimmay' with the extra 'a.' the word 'balls' would sound like 'bauws' in the playa voice. 'bauws' was a favorite word of the PBP crew at the time. one day, the great johnny opened his mouth, and forever is was... "SHIMMAY BAUW!"

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.
