Hartford Whalers 

The Hartford Whalers was the best thing that has ever happened to Conneticut. They werent that good, and usually missed the playoffs barely each year, but who gives a shit. Now theres only WNBA in CT, and it blows. IF the Whalers were still in Hartford then Conneticut, would not only have a professional team, but a world championship, as the Carolina Hurricanes, won the Stanley Cup, in 2006 and made it to the finals in 2002. The Hartford Whalers was something special to Conneticut, and now theres nothing. So you shouldve listened to The Zambonis and supported your team. If you dont miss the whalers you dont have a heart. And too all those hicks in Carolina, they arent true fans, also you dont deserve a championship. Weve went through decades of pain and never got a cup. So this championship (2006) isn't yours. Its for us True Whaler fans, yeah this ones ours.
damnit i miss the brass bonzana (Hartford Whalers theme song)

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.
