charades 

a game where players act out a phrase, movie title, book title, or tv show name.
Also, the most amusing game to play on extremely long bus rides to and from Florida, preferably when the clues are difficult and require acting out elements of Napolean Dynamite (ex. hash brownies)
Note, pointing to things outside the bus/things people are doing on the bus or talking ruins the fun of charades.
I owned that game of charades, my partner guessed the clue in 5 seconds.

iPod Charades

The modern re-invention of the classic game charades. It is usually played with two people on each 'team'. You have to listen to the track that is playing, usually random ones, and each person on that team mimics the song title until people on different teams guess the name of the song.

Not strictly applied to iPods but other mp3 players with a display.
Team 1: *hugging themselves and then putting hands together and reaching for the sky*

Team 2: "Um... Cosy? Yeah. What... Oh! 'Cosy In The Rocket' by Psapp (Grey's Antatomy Theme Tune)

iPod Charades can sometimes last alot longer than this!

Toilet Charades 

A hilarious game we played in McDonalds in Leicester Square London but can be played wherever there is a CCTV camera in the toilet sink area which can be viewed by the customers of the shop. One person goes into the toilet finds the camera and starts acting out charades while people queuing for the toilet give him/her funny looks. The other people stand outside the toilet and watch the person acting out on the TV screen. They have to guess what he is acting out like a normal game of charades with the added bonus of laughing their heads of at the people watching the actor.
Person queuing for toilet 1:WTF is that weirdo guy doing????Why does he think the security people would want to see him do that???Is he pretending he is riding on a broom???
Person queueing for toilet 2:I think he is playing toilet charades.Now he is pretending he has a wand!!!WOW he is a loser could he not think of a better charade???!!
People outside toilet:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMAO!!!HARRY POTTER!!!

funeral charades 

A game of charades where someone has actually suffered physical injury or death, but those around them do not know. Much like the death of TV celebrity Redd Fox, who suffered a heart attack as co-workers unknowingly thought he was doing an impression of his character.
When John ate that poisioned shrimp coctail, we played a game of funeral charades.

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.
