Yalling is the act by which a non-southern person offends someone from the southern United States by teasing their speech patterns. Deliberate or not, yalling implies that the southerner is acting like an "ignorant redneck" which is an image many educated people from those states consciously try to avoid.
I was talking to my boyfriend from NYC the other night, and he yelled "y'all" into the phone just to get on my nerves. Luckily he's good enough in bed to forgive the occasional yalling, but when will they learn that it's just not funny?

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.
