Working on Laptops 

a phrase that means "Having homosexual relations".

They couldn't come up with a valid excuse for what happened and tried to cover up the event (very poorly I might add).
Boss: "What the hell where you two doing in the stock room together!?"

HomoA: "Uh.... we were arguing..."

HomoB: "We were Working on Laptops! Yeah! That's it..."

Working on the boat 

Working on the boat is a euphemism for masturbating. Our friend would give an excuse for not hanging out with us by saying that, "he was working on the boat". Eventually we got so bothered by his "working on the boat" that we went to his house and asked his mother and she told us that he was in the bathroom. However he didn't exit the bathroom for 45 minutes. Thus he was "working on the boat".

Person 2: Sorry, I gotta work on the boat.

Person 1: Where were you man?

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
