The Boardwalk 

Where the scene/emo kids hang out, smoking and drinking, there is usually at least 2 or more police standing there and arresting people. The boardwalk is usually at a shopping center, but no one shops, they just stand there on their hiptops, trying to be cool.
Like omg, lets tell my parents that we're going to the mall and actually just hang out on the boardwalk, get magget and smoke a packet of cigarettes.

The Boardwalk Effect 

When you are at a party or gathering of some type and upon arrival you notice the girls aren't good looking. Then after a prolonged period of time at the party or gathering, your standards at that party fall and the least ugly chicks start looking good.

Can also be when you are at a gathering with not that many girls there and just because there's not that many chicks at the party, the ones there start looking good when normally they're not that great or grenades.

Came from a visit to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where most of the girls there are fat and ghetto. After a few hours there your standards fall and they start looking good.
*at a party*
Bro 1 (11:00pm)- Man this party is kinda wack, the chicks here are not fine.
Bro 2 (11:00pm)- Yeah I feel you man, whatever its early i'm sure it will get better.

Bro 1 (12:30am)- Dude some of these chicks are starting to look good...
Bro 2 (12:30am)- Yeah I know, we need to get the hell out of here, its the Boardwalk Effect.

stalking my life on the boardwalk

When a person has latched onto you and tracks your every move, to the point that you can't leave your house without being paranoid about the person mysteriously popping up and interrogating you.

1)
Girl: "Why didn't you call me last night? Where were you? Who were you with? I called you 3 times and you never called me back and I KNOW you got my messages!"
Boy: "OK, seriously, you are stalking my life on the boardwalk right now."

2)
Boy: "Hey, so you're single now? You dated for what, 7 months? And your ex transferred schools?"

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.
