Thumb Downer 

A person who visits the "urban Dictionary" website with the intention of reading peoples entries, and then giving them a thumbs down. Often these people have had traumatic events in their lives that have caused them to be so full of hate and anger that the only way they can express their hate on the world is to give people "thumbs down" on a website meant for peoples amusement and pleasure.
Jonnie: Hey man, I'm feeling angry because my Momma made me eat cold beans when I was little, and I need a way to let the world know I'm suffering and angry, what should I do?
Stevie: Why don't you go on the urban dictionary website and become a "Thumb Downer"? Just read something that someone has wrote for your amusement, then give it a thumbs down. I do it all the time!
Jonnie: Thats great advice, Thanks Stevie, People like you make the world a great place to be!

Thumbdowner 

Pathetic life form that systematically goes through Urban Dictionary´s "Word of the Day" list giving a thumbs down to every single definition without reading any of them. Out of spite and utter lack of creativity, finds more exciting to downgrade the work of others than to come up with even a run of the mill (conventional, mediocre, prevalent, regular, trite) idea.
Get a life Thumbdowner, life is short and then we die.

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.
