Tweetentary

A Tweentary is a Tweet with truthful, inciting, and/or biting commentary that has been changed into a picture formated Picentary (jpeg, png, etc.) and re-posted or forwarded as a Tweetentary.

Multiple and/or chained Tweets, reformatted as multiple Picentaries, are known as Tweetentaries. To be considered a Tweetentary, the original Tweet must be unaltered and complete after going through the Tweet to Picentary to Tweetentary transformation process.
Robert had no idea how to Tweet and about a month ago he asked me to create a Tweetentary of one of John Fugelsang's great Tweets he had heard about. Robert continued to ask me to format more of John’s Tweets into Tweetentaries and because John Fugelsang has so many fantastic Tweets daily, Robert has accrued a treasure trove of out of this world Tweetentaries. Robert posts the Tweetentaries on Facebook as well as e-mailing or texting them out for the benefit of his other non-Tweeting friends.

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.
