Summertime Blues

The realization that summer is coming closer to an end. During the last week of Summer you try and cram everything from the list in, but most likely miss. Often Summertime Blues occur during the days preceding labor day, and as such mark a saddening time on a persons' life - this is because after labor day basically summer is over. Everyone after labor day returns to their prior engagements such as work or school. As we know, summer is the best season because you can do nearly everything and nothing. There is no official cure for the summer time blues, as it's inevitable.

The only way to temporarily mark the occasion is to party hard on the night of labor day, and try to cram some things from the summer list in. Also re-enacting something you did to kick-off summer helps or you can just reassure yourself that next summer is coming soon.

Also generally the only people who like going back to school during this time have had very bad summers - they did nothing, so they're summer haters. It's like being a gay kid in a hick town that you have to go to in the summer or a hardcore gamer whose had nothing or no one to go outside and play with, they can't wait for it to be over.

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.
