bacchanalia 

A drunken orgy. Which is pretty much a useless word, because it is easily understood that an orgy has to have some form of alcohol to get from standing around doing nothing to suddenly having an orgy. However, if you want to sound intellectual using this will probably boost you up.

Derived from the Roman God Bacchus, the god of wine and sensual pleasures. Unfortunately Bacchus wasn't actually considered an Olympian, so he's not very well known and rarely pops up in many myths
Magistra: Today we'll be learning about derivatives!

Bambi: Yay!!! I've got a good one! Bacchanalia from the Roman god Bacchus. He's my favourite!

Nick: I wish I was a Roman... That way I could have bacchanalia's all the time.

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.
