Sexiest book character in the world. Ever. Sirius, aka Padfoot, and Snuffles, is Harry Potter godfather who got sent to Azkaban for a crime he did not commit. Before this, he was the hottest damn thing ever to walk the halls of Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry. He is not officially gay but according to a large portion of the Harry Potter fandom, he is Remus Lupin's bitch. Which is so not a problem. Sirius Black is the only fictional character that is sexy enough to fan-girl over.

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.
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.
