St. Totteringham's Day 

St. Totteringham's Day is the day celebrated by Arsenal F.C. fans when Tottenham Hotspur can no longer finish above Arsenal F.C. in the English Football League by virtue of not being able to catch their rivals, even if they win every remaining game.

Due to its very nature, St Totteringham's Day is moveable and can occur at varying times during the season based on the respective fortunes of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal F.C..
In 2007 it is anticipated that St. Totteringham's Day will fall on Saturday 21st April when Arsenal F.C. travel to White Hart Lane; home of the Tottenham Hotspurds.

St. Totteringham's Day 

St Totteringham's Day is an event that has occurred every single year since the 1995-96 English Premier League season. Essentially, it is the day, usually happening in April or May, where it is mathematically impossible for Tottenham Hotspur (hence the name TOTTEringham) to finish higher in the league table than Arsenal - their North London rivals.
In the 2015-16 season, Arsenal shockingly passed Spurs on the last day of the season to finish 2nd. Thus, their fans celebrated St. Totteringham's Day.

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.
