Backlisted 

What usually happens to Urban Dictionary definitions that are either not politically correct or favor conservative ideals or values. Those definitions are usually placed towards the back or get moved behind more liberal definitions of a word.
I wrote a factual definition for Sarah Palin in Urban Dictionary that lacked negative information. As expected, my definition got backlisted where it is less likely to be read.

blacklisted 

Originally stemming from fear of Communism (ie the red-scare),it means you were suspected of being involved in Communism, and were put on a list with other such people, though most had done nothing wrong. Being on this list prevented you from doing lots of everyday things.

More recently associated with Seinfeld, when Elaine got herself, and then her boyfriend, blacklisted at the best delivery Chinese Food place around. They refused to deliver to the people "on their list."
(note: I have not seen this episode for many years, so forgive me if this is not verbatim, but it is pretty close)

Delivery Man: here's your food
Elaine's boyfriend: thank you
Delivery Man, seeing Elaine: I know you! You're on our list!
Delivery Man, to Elaine's boyfriend: Now YOU are on our list, too!
Elaine's boyfriend, to Elaine: You got me blacklisted at Hop Sing's!?!?

Blacklisted 

Similar to being rick roll'd, a person is blacklisted when they get sent a Youtube link to something supposedly amazing only to find it is Rebecca Black's "Friday." In reality, it's about a million times worse than being rick roll'd because IT'S REBECCA BLACK
The other day my friend told me about this great new rap video, but when I clicked the link "Friday," was blasted at me. I was blacklisted.

I'm going to get you blacklisted 

What a bunch of dumb ass military and military dependapotamuses say to businesses when you don't bend over and give them what they want when they are wrong.

Something that you hear a million times a day if you work in customer service around military people.
Upon moving out of your apartment, you get charged to clean it when you move out. (Because you didn't clean it) HOW DARE THEY! Don't they know that you're in the military???? So you march into their office and let them know that they are totally unprofessional, stupid and fat. And you tell them "I'm going to the Garrison and I'm toing to get you blacklisted"

You eat out at a restaurant and they don't offer a military discount. HOW DARE THEY! Don't they know that you're in the military????? So you refuse to pay your bill and instead yell at the busboy (who has absolutely NO say in their policy) "I'm going to get you blacklisted"

You come home from a deployment and purchase a $40,000 vehicle, even though you only make $22,000 per year. You don't make any but the first two payments and the repo man comes to pick up your ride. HOW DARE THEY! Don't they know that you're in the military????? So you threaten the tow truck driver with your Glock and tell him "I'm going to get you blacklisted"

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.
