Big Brained 

Said mockingly to describe people (like politicians and intellectuals) who use double-think, conceptualism and mental gymnastics to convince people of things that go against common sense and their own interests, but can also refer to plans or "solutions" which are unnecessarily convoluted. Usually such plans/"solutions" are intentionally complicated for the purpose of hiding ulterior motives.
"The solution is simple, but these big brained politicians have to make everything complicated."

"You have to be pretty big brained to understand that 1 and 1 is actually 11, and not 2."

"Intellectuals want to implement their big brained plans to engineer society."

Big Brained 

A derogatory term for someone who over-conceptualizes. Who uses intellectualism and mental gymnastics to rationalize the irrational; to justify bad ideas or discredit common sense.

People who put their principles over being practical. Especially when their principles are at odds with the real world. Especially when they spout off their "rationalizations" to others.
We uncultured knuckledraggers just can't get our heads around the ideas that gender is fluid and race is a construct. You have to be big brained to understand that stuff.

Common sense is for common people. If you're big brained enough 1+1 can equal 11, and you should consider it your duty to explain to all the commoners how it does not equal 2.

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.
