Wanker phone 

Mobile phone. Not commonly used today, but was heavily used in the early days of the device. As the prices of phones dropped the term fell out of favour; another case of Tall poppy syndrome?
Look at that guy talking on his wanker phone; is he that important?!

Phone Wanker 

Someone with an overwhelming obsession with their phone, phone related apps and equipment. Someone with a new phone who is generally a boring person with nothing relevant or interesting to talk about. Someone with an aggressive need to show you their phone and tell you about its uninteresting attachments.
Look at my new phone, it has an app that comes up with interesting phone related conversation starters. Check out how much music my phone has! Why would I want to sleep with you when, instead we can talk about how much memory my phone has. I have no personality but my phone can be used as a metal detector. I am a complete Phone Wanker!

Phone Wanker 

Someone who attends a live music event and insists on filming the performance on their phone instead of enjoying the atmosphere. Exactly what these dipshits do with the footage after the event is unclear but it's likely it just sits on their phone, acting as a reminder of the performance they attended in person but largely watched via a 5 inch screen. The Phone Wanker is further characterised by the person filming the event with their phone in a vertical/portrait orientation, thus rendering the footage unusable for any purpose other than viewing it on their phone. Sadly all attempts to capture the event for prosperity (or perhaps bragging rights) are rendered useless anyway since the diminutive microphone on the phone is inadequate when faced with the venues high powered speaker stack.
I went to see Rag n Bone man in concert last week. Amazing gig but I was surrounded by Phone Wankers who insisted on filming it!

Phone Book Wanker 

A waster who calls random numbers from the phone book, usually late at night, for their own amusement.

Very different from a briefcase wanker or buswanker but remarkably bawbagish.
-phone rings late at night and is answered by person who is not a phone book wanker-
silence!
"...Who are you and why are you calling me?"
"eeehhrmm.... who ur you??"
"Not telling you!"
"well yer a wanker then!"

Both parties are aware who the real wanker is, but only one is enough of a wanker to actually state that the person receiving the call is a wanker.
Said wanker - the phone book wanker - will then get bored and either do what wankers do best or go back to his (probably sticky) phonebook to find another hapless victim.

Phone-wander 

To walk, mope, or otherwise meaninglessly move about while talking on the phone or texting.
After he paced back and forth on the porch for the first 10 minutes of the conversation, Trevor phone-wandered aimlessly around the perimeter of the living room- softly kicking the floorboards as he strolled.

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.
