You do you, Boo 

Similar to “whatever floats your boat” or “if that’s your cup of tea,” but with more of an supportive tone.

It can be used to encourage others to do what makes them happy or to stick to their values/beliefs despite opposition, or as a way to acknowledge others may do something differently than how the speaker/writer just said they do it and they won’t judge.
“I really want to wear this outfit I love but Sarah’s said it’s tacky.”
“That’s just her opinion! Her style is really different from yours but that doesn’t mean this style is bad. You do you, Boo! Own that look!”

“Personally I think that much cream and sugar in the drink makes it a coffee-flavored dessert rather than an actual coffee, but you do you, Boo.”

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.
