...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
a rock band from Texas
often simply called "Trail of Dead"
a very good band and in my opinion the hope of alternative rock, a genre that suffered so much in the past few years.
they got everything: musical talent and the jolly good ambitions to bring variety into every album, cool lyrics, stylish artworks and on stage they simply ROCK! make sure to be there if they are around for a show.

On the trail of the ever illusive M.Renard
v. to be out getting drunk on gin. In order to catch the crafty fox from French folklore one must visit drinking holes and order large gins as this is most likely where the gentlemanly vulpine will be found. Of course he is a devious creature and extremely difficult to find so many establishments will have to checked and lots of gin will have to be ordered. The meaning is similar to chasing the dragon. (There is always a risk that while you are rolling around on the floor of some dive enveloped in Mother's Ruin that Monsieur Renard will be at your house seducing your wife) This course of action is highly inadvisable.
"I have a day off tomorrow, it should give me an excellent chance to get on the trail of the ever illusive M.Renard"

one turn on the trail
This was said by an old man acting as Clyde Barrow's father in the movie "The Highwaymen". I suspect that it means something like proceeding in yet another direction.
After working on the roof of my home I descended the ladder and mowed the lawn which was essentially one turn on the trail.

Boffin
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.

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.
