"Sning" is a magical character from, "Bearing An Hourglass" (a fantasy novel by Piers Anthony. It is the second of eight books in the Incarnations of Immortality series.)

A demonic, though benign, creature, it takes the form of a ring in the shape of a snake (where it gets the name Norton gave it, standing for SNake rING). While not omniscient, Sning has an incredible amount of information, and appears to be able to learn many things about creatures just by touching them. It can respond to any question asked of it by squeezing the wearer's finger – one squeeze for yes, two for no, three for uncertainty, complex answers, or inability to answer (for example, if the asker foolishly poses a non-yes/no question). It can also answer with squeezes representing a number, though Sning is actually quite bad at math, much to its embarrassment. In addition, it is capable of coming alive briefly, scouting an area, and reporting back. While alive, it is approximately six inches long, though it is shown that he can grow, and also poisonous. Its poison is strong enough to make a creature the size of a man sick for several hours, but not to kill.
Sning has a long and complex history.

bully-suing

When a large multinational corporation sues an individual who cannot possibly have the financial resources to fight back for the express purpose to "make an example of him/her" but is hoping to intimidate the public into being sheep.
This is a tactic used recently by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to stop song sharing on {P2P} sites such as {kazaa} but in reality is trying to control the definition of "copyright" by lobbying congress to abide by the rules they set and then sue individual persons to enforce their rules.
The RIAA recently won a lawsuit against a Native American woman on a reservation to the tune of $220,000 for 24 songs they allege she shared on Kazaa. They did not have to prove that she actually shared the files, they prove that she intended to share them.
Satisfied, the lawyers then said "this should send a message to the public."
This was a clear cut case of bully-suing.

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.
