Telovision 

Te-love-ision

The kind of love you see on television. The flawless, never-ending, overcoming all obstacles (including herpes) kind. Where you sit amazed over how incredibly fictional and non-realistic it is.
-"Jesus Christ, Marie and Geoffrey are really together 24/7. It's like telovision."

-"Yeah, until he realizes that that little bump on her belly is actually Dave's baby growing inside of her and she realizes that those 'freckles' around his penis is actually crabs."

Parent Television Council 

A bunch of goody two shoe arseholes who believe it's a better choice to watch after other children when instead, they should be watching their own.

They're globally known as "attention whores" and "giant cry babies"

They also believe in the fact that the world will be balanced, if there were only G - Rated shows on TV. If that was the case, teenagers would ultimately die from boredness.

The point is, PTC is nothing but a bunch of selfish adults, who believe that Television will kill the minds of ANYONE. If they read this, they would waste their valuable time tracking my ass down, and direct me to the Police because I was "cyber bullying".

This is nothing but the truth.

Educational Television

The most annoying and the most boring thing to happen to television. Parents advise their children to watch it, but they eventually can't take the trauma anymore. Appropriate for children 5 and under, but children over 5 usually watch more non-educational, but still lame and boring TV. Do you want to learn where Dora The Explorer goes next? Well lets not find out, and watch something worth while, mmkay?
My little brother is watching his favorite educational television show in the living room, he has that thing too loud and it's interfering with my video game!

Daytime Television

A bland, nauseating mix of courtroom TV, televangelists, tawdry talk shows, infomercials, moldy game shows, depressing news stories, gagworthy soap operas that lower the already low standard, televised church services, inaccurate weather forecasts, increasingly vacant programs for pre-K children, and instructional quilting/home improvement programs. The TV equivalent of cold oatmeal, or cafeteria food.

Antonyms: Primetime Television, adult swim.
"I'd rather go to work/school with a stomach virus than sit at home nibbling saltines and watching Judge Joe Brown. Daytime Television just makes me feel sicker."

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.
