Tsundere 

Tsundere (ツンデレ, pronounced tsɯndeɾe) is a Japanese term for a character development process that describes a person who is initially cold (and sometimes even hostile) before gradually showing a warmer, friendlier side over time. The word is derived from the terms tsun tsun (ツンツン), meaning to turn away in disgust, and dere dere (デレデレ) meaning to become 'lovey dovey'.Originally found in Japanese bishōjo games, the word is now part of the otaku moe phenomenon, reaching into other media such as maid cafés, anime, manga, novels, and even mass media. The term was made popular in the visual novel Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

Tsundere 

Someone who hates their infatuation (or just attachment) toward you and tries to hide any such feelings, leading to resentment and lashing out against you. Many tsunderes feel that their love interests are unworthy of them and/or may feel uncomfortable about being vulnerable in general. A tsundere may or may not become sweeter and more vulnerable toward the love interest as their relationship continues, depending on the health of the relationship. Their secret love may or may not be obvious to anyone else, but in fiction it tends to be, whereas in real life it tends not to be.
"Tsundere" is a combination of two Japanese terms: "tsun-tsun“ (to turn away in disgust), and "dere-dere" (to be lovey-dovey). The tsundere is a popular character trope in anime.

Currently the Fifth Hokage (also known as Godaime) of Konoha from the Japanese manga/anime series Naruto. Together with Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Tsunade makes up the famed trio known as the Legendary Sannin. She has enormous strength, a trait she gained through her exceptional chakra control.

The granddaughter of the 1st Hokage of Konoha (founder of the hidden village itself), she is well-respected and most likely belongs to a noble clan. She lost her younger brother and lover during the war and that subsequently causes her to develop hemophobia. Tsunade manages to overcome the fear during her confrontation with Orochimaru, right before she accepts the position of Hokage.

She owns a priceless crystal necklace, an heirloom from the 1st Hokage. It is believed that the bearer of the necklace, other than Tsunade, will die. However, Naruto won the necklace from Tsunade in a bet and is able to break the curse surrounding the item.

Tsunade is addicted to gambling, and is also known as the Legendary Sucker due to her extreme bad luck in the arena.

As a medical nin specialist, she is able to cast special jutsus that keeps her looking young and beautiful. Her skills in the medical field is also the reason why Orochimaru tries to enlist her help in reviving his arms that the 3rd Hokage, also known as the Sandaime, has sealed using the Shikifuujin rendering it unable to perform jutsus.

Her apprentice, Shizune and pet pig, Ton Ton, accompany her during her travels to gambling hotspots.

After becoming the Godaime, Tsunade accepts Haruno Sakura as her next apprentice.

Tsunade has a soft-spot for Uzumaki Naruto, and sees the dream of both her younger brother and her lover living in him. Their outward relationship, however, consists of shouting matches, insults and physical fights.
Tsunade has a short temper.

Tsunade enjoys gambling a little too much.

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.
