beat bullying 

Was a nice quaint idea from radio one onelife. In reality, bullying will never truly be beaten, and there is a lot more you can do than wear a blue wristband. Sadly since they started being worn by footballers etc, they became somewhat a trendy fashion accesorie. Mostly worn by people who will relentlessly follow the next craze. These people often care not about bullying.
"I bought this beat bullying band on ebay for £15. That is how much I care about beating bullying....."

beat bullying 

A blue wrist band which is worn to show you are against bullying and show your support to those who are/have been bullied.

Were available for free from the onelife website bbc.co.uk/radio1/onelife

Its about standing up for what you believe in, not worn to be a fashion accessory

I think it is sad that our school banded all forms or wristbands regardless of the charity or reason they were worn, how more appropriate could a bullying band be than in a school where so many kids have to suffer bullying everyday?
I wear my blue beat bullying band with pride :)

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.
