kids in the hall 

A five-man cult comedy troupe out of Canada consisting of Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson. The "Kids In The Hall" television show started in 1989, lasting five acclaimed seasons and also lead to their 1996 motion picture "Brain Candy".

The troupe played many women in their sketches--very convincingly--for lack of female members, and the 4 straight members (Foley, McCulloch, McDonald and McKinney) are often mistaken for being homosexual.

Quirky and controversial, Kids In The Hall sketches are still worshipped by a large and loyal fan base.
"The Kids In The Hall are the greatest comedy troupe since Monty Python!"

trucker's tan

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.
