The fictional character a politician creates in order to win an election, complete with many lies and promises that will not be kept.
Everybody loved the Candidate Barack Obama. A brilliant speaker, extremely inspirational, and capable of making anyone scream with patriotism. However, while his presidency wasn't horrific, it wasn't nearly as good as he made us think it would be when he was the Candidate. He fumbled the handoff, the easiest play in sports, and gave us Trump and Biden. He needs to atone for that one.

I can't believe that after 14 months of campaigning, we have so much candidate abandonment to our opponent. Yes, he's won every state, but the next states were looking good for us.

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.
