Beer's Law 

Studying for a test or doing homework while beer is involved, making difficult classes such as physical chemistry more bearable. Classes involved can be any class that is deemed difficult.

Also can be referred to as A = ebc, which is the real Beer's law used in chemistry, where A is absorbance, e is the extinction coefficient, b is the path length, and c is the concentration.

It is useful to use this definition to indicate beer is involved in public places where it is not appropriate to speak of such things.
Person A : Hey man you do that p. chem homework last night?

Person B: Naw man, i'ma hit it up tonight with my buddies using Beer's law, u game?

The Beer's Prayer 

Our Lager,

Which art in barrels

Hallowed be thy drink.

Thy will be drunk,

I will be drunk,

At home as in the tavern.

Give us this day our foamy head

and forgive us our spillages

as we forgive those that spill against us

and lead us not into incarceration.

But deliver us from hang-overs,

for thine is the beer,

The bitter and the lager

forever and ever

Barmen!
I sit down and pray The Beer's Prayer before I go out every night.

Jill: Remember Annie, I'm going to be in my sister's wedding, so I can only drink Bridesmaid's Beer!

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.
