/brīv/ origin: American, late twenty tens.

Basically a watered down version of jive meant to demonstrate a certain African-American coolness in the speaker while still retaining a bro sensibility. A direct consequence of the identity void found in the millennial generation. Notable examples include fitness personality Bradley Martin, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and fake prank YouTubers RebelTV.

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.
