animal crossing new leaf 

The fourth entry in the animal crossing series, its home being the 3DS. One of the best games to get into animal crossing, with practically limitless possibilities and 333 default villagers (50 added in the welcome amiibo update-they are amiibo cards) giving the option to have a very different town to anyone else.

Each town is unique from the layouts being randomly generated, with landscaping, public works projects, and much else to be explored in the game with friends locally or online, you can lose many many hours in this great game.
player: I've been playing animal crossing new leaf for a year and have logged in over 200 hours!!! I love this game!
nonplayer: hmm...maybe there is something to this game...

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.
