Dicked The Show 

To screw up really bad.

To not show up at all and the people waiting for you are screwed because you flaked out.
Damn it! Our drummer is not going to make it tonight. Looks like he dicked the show again.

I dicked the show and forgot to pick up beer. Shit! You have any money?

We are going to run out of gas! Dude, you totally dicked the show. Why didn't you get gas?

The Show 

Major League Baseball, esp. when contrasted with the minor leagues.
In his first inning after being called up to the Majors, the young pitcher gave up a towering home run. The commentators just chuckled and said, "Welcome to the Show, kid."

friend of the show 

Friends you can count on to pitch in when stuff goes wrong.
"Like late night hosts can look to trusted pals to fill-in when big shot guests don't fulfill responsibilities, I can always count on Jordo to have my back. He's a friend of the show."

The Show Stopper 

Three in the stink, one in the pink. The lesser known cousin of The Shocker.
The Shocker? Fuck that, this calls for The Show Stopper!

Joe the Show

One whose wild claims of supreme ability cannot be disproved.

A girl who does ballet and only talks about ballet. Her schedule is filled with dance classes which does not allow her to do any other activity.
"Hey, do you know that girl Sally?"

"Yeah, she's kind of annoying. All she ever talks about it ballet."

"Wow, what a Bunhead."

"Hey Sally, you want to hang out this weekend?"
"I can't, I have dance."
"You're such a Bunhead."

"Yeah... I know."

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.
