aquaintance zone 

When a situation goes from, romances, bromances, friendzones to the nope zone. It's time to label it and call the time of death as Aquaintance Zone. It was already feeling weird, awkward, twighlight zone-ish. Now things aren't what either of you wanted and you may be in the grey area, so this helps you decide to phase it out in a friendly way. You taper off, slowly. It's better than ghosting. Ghosting is harsh and it is for that last resort for cutting ties completely.
Person: I thought we were friends and this was going somewhere?
You: Well, honestly we were in the friendzone, but now we're definitely in the Aquaintance Zone. Have a good one.

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.
