A ray of sunshine piercing through the darkness 

On a tough day, during a difficult period of time, when low and tired even a small gesture, nice smile, sincere look in the eyes, warm words or a big hug could make a big difference for someone's day.
Mr. Busy was returning home after a long day and as always during the last couple months, when alone, he was thinking about Mrs. Over-Elaborate. He missed her presence and their talks and other things he tried to avoid thinking about...

He suddenly got the urge to text her. They planned to have a lunch in two days, but he could not resist the temptation. The combination of what she wrote back and how they immediately connected made him feel special. He was still tired and needed to finish some work, but her kind words worked like a ray of sunshine piercing through the darkness and distinct change in the mood of Mr. Busy was perceptible... and without asking her, he was almost sure she knew how she made him feel and was happy he wrote her...

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.
