The Woody Effect 

The Woody Effect is serious and contagious effect first discovered at Wilfrid Laurier University. The first signs of the effect were seen during the University's frosh week. The rumour claims that an individual going by the persona of "Woody" was confused with the idea of frosh week, and assumed that it lasted all four years and not just a week. This lead to him spending his days brainwashing unsuspecting students (using techniques learned in Psychology) to drink despite them being behind in readings, having exams the next day, or that they were currently in an exam. Projections done by the University show a shocking number of drop outs in the future because of this effect. Special constables in Kitchener, Waterloo are currently investigating this effect and trying to contain it before it spreads to other Universities.

Victim: Do I have a choice?
Woody: Nope. You're already a victim of The Woody Effect

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.
