pulling a Han Solo 

When someone says "I know" in reply to " I love you. "

Usually for either people who don't like replying "I love you (too)" in public (or at all), or people just trying to be clever. Has the effect of making a girl want to punch you (as a jerk ) and want to make out with you (as a bad boy ) at the same time.

Taken from " Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back", where Leia reveals to Han that she loves him, and Han replies, "I know."
Girlfriend: "So... I told him I loved him."
Her friend: "What did he say?"
GF: "He ended up pulling a Han Solo"
HF: "NO. WAY."
GF: "Yah. So I punched him on his shoulder."
HF: "And then?"
GF: "We just made out the rest of the movie."

Doing A Han Solo 

The act of yelling while making a mad dash towards your enemies, then abruptly stopping while screaming on the top of your lungs. Then after taking out one of your enemies, you dash away, resulting in an escape from the enemies. This act is well known by Harrison Ford's character Han Solo from the movie Star Wars: A New Hope. He made this act famous while doing all the above while in the Death Star, running into a group of Storm Troopers and shooting one down before running off, prompting the Storm Troopers to chase after him.

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.
