Claptomaniac

A person with an uncontrollable urge to clap at every minor accomplishment, event, or situation—no matter how trivial or mundane. Claptomaniacs find it irresistible to applaud even the smallest of successes, like finishing a cup of coffee, sending an email, or correctly guessing the weather for the day. They often unintentionally create awkward moments by clapping in quiet settings, like libraries or elevators, to acknowledge achievements only they seem to notice.

While clapping is often a social cue for praise or excitement, a claptomaniac takes it to the next level, turning everyday moments into personal rounds of applause. Though harmless, their behavior can baffle those around them.
"I swear, Greg clapped when the microwave beeped. He’s a total claptomaniac!"

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.
