Vigilantism 

What happens when "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" is completely ignored and being declared guilty by the Court of Public Opinion reaches its logical conclusion.
All of Bob's peers are convinced that he's the one who stole Alice's car, even though he was legally declared innocent due to lack of evidence to prove it. So they all resorted to Vigilantism and piled on him like vultures.

Vigilantism 

Despite many females belief that they are morally superior to males, there is no vigilantism/checks and balances for females by other females, since to both sexes, males are made to be the ones that need intervention, which is why you don't hear about intervention for females by females, or intervention for females by males (though it seems fine with everybody if males get intervention from everybody of all sexes, and that everyone of all sexes should be entitled to their business).
Vigilantism is still a one sided thing, throughout history it's always been males that were thought to need intervention from everyone, instead of equal intervention for any and all sexes that get out of line, or fuck with people's lives.

Positive vigilantism 

The tendency to help others in danger without hesitation, especially when bystanders tend to hesitate. In situations where others are too embarrassed or confused to intervene, someone with this tendency doesn't think twice about stepping in. It is putting oneself in harms way in public places where others tend to fail to help.
When the old man fell from his wheelchair at the traffic light, Emily was the first to rush to help before we even knew what was happening. And this is not the first time I've seen her react so fast. This is positive vigilantism in action!

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.
