Thrifster 

Likes indie and experimental music. Follows the saying "art is whatever you can get away with", and most often practices some form of art. Usually seen driving a beat up vehicle with several quirks, such as a stationwagon. Found shopping at thrift stores and vintage specialty shops. Attempts to start their own trends, such as wearing a satchel, or wearing hats with a company logo (ex. AT&T) that are usually given away free as if they were a designer brand. No specific hairstyles, though unique or unusual styles are common. Unafraid to express themselves in any way they feel fit. If straight, have no problem displaying gay tendencies to make others uncomfortable. Constant party-goers. Parkour is a favorite pasttime, as well as philosophy. Big words are often thrown around, but only because they understand what they mean.
"That thrifster's trend is actually starting to catch on! Maybe I should go buy myself a satchel!"

"I'm a real fan of Thrift Stores. They call me a Thrifter, but in a good way! It's amazing the deals you can find. I found a beautiful designer handbag at one last week for $8.00!! Thrifting is my life - and reusing instead of throwing everything away is better for our environment"

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.
