A phrase used to ascertain information from a rival as to what happened to him during an altercation, sometimes said information can be used in reports. Most of which are due the following day. In most cases no information is passed on because the fallen rival neither has the strength to tell you due to his/hers incapacitation after the conflict, nor has the intestinal fortitude.

Tell me is often followed by words such as "who", "where", "how" and "what". Furthermore, it can be lengthened to "tell me what happened" or "tell me who emerged victorious". The latter phrase is usually abbreviated to simply "who".
*after a physical conflict*
PersonA: Tell me what happened!

PersonB: *silence*

PersonA: aww you never tell me but.

Tell me about the rabbits, George

A popular quote from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men (said by Lennie to George), sometimes used when dreaming of something (often along with someone else) that you know will never happen. Usually used in a sad, almost-reminiscent way.
Friend: It'll be okay... You'll get better soon...
Terminally Ill Patient: Tell me about the rabbits, George...
Friend: ... Once you get better, you'll go back to school with all of us again...and you'll pass with the highest grades like always...and then we'll be roommates for college...and everything will all be okay...

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.
