thick as shit 

A phrase used to describe an individual with extremely low intelligence. A generally unintelligent person may simply be described as 'thick', however the term 'thick as shit' describes someone who is so dumb that it may be considered reasonable to question if they're mentally retarded. Such people's intelligence is often so low that persons of normal intellect may find it incomprehensible how they can be so stupid.

Someone may be considered/accused of being 'thick as shit' for several reasons, mainly for thinking and acting in ways which most people would obviously recognise as wrong/stupid/flawed/absurd. Unlike people of higher intellect, such people will be unable to realise how hopelessly dumb they really are even after it has been clearly shown to them. These people are unable to understand simple logic and have very poor communication skills.

The term is typically used informally and is commonly used as an insult intended to cause offence.
"He must be thick as shit if he thinks the moon's made of cheese"
"Ha Ha, you're thick as shit!"
"I know someone who ate cyanide because he's thick as shit"
"That person is obviously thick as shit"

As annoying as a thick piece of shit in a shallow bucket 

an expression to tell how annoying somebody/something is, as much as something probably very messy.

The reference to a "thick piece of shit" and the fact it is no fitting for a "shallow bucket" probably comes from a real life experience most likely to have happened at the beginning of the 20th century and those before, when modern time toilets were nowhere to be seen in farmhouses and camping grounds of America.
Guy 1: I truly think you should not play with matches that close to the gaz tanks...

Guy2: shut up, you're as annoying as a thick piece of shit in a shallow bucket!!!

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.
