1. That little piece of no-man's land between civilization and Poolesville in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the new Harris Teeter is the most exciting thing in town.

2. The part of MoCo that everyone forgets about. People from Darnestown often claim to be from "north Potomac." Many people in Darnestown are just as wealthy as those in Potomac...but Potomac is easier to explain.

"I live in Montgomery County."
"Moco, eh? What part?"
"Darnestown....north Potomac."

Boffin

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.
