Dead man's shift 

The shift within a night watch covering from midnight until dawn or midnight until 04:00 in modern forces.

The attack came around 2am with only a lone guard on the dead man's shift snoring in the command room.

Dead Man's Hand 

Historically, the phrase, "Dead Man's Hand" was given to the last poker hand that Wild Bill Hickok had been dealt when he was murdered during a game of five-card-draw. Although there is quite the controversy over what those five cards were or even if there actually were five cards when the infamous Hickok was slain, there appears to be a general mind that he was holding a pair of 8's and a pair of Ace's. However, the most controversial aspect about the poker hand in question, was the the number and suit of the fifth card.
You're about as useful as a "Dead Man's Hand."

Dead Man's Curve 

A curve on I-90 where it meets with/ splits from OH Rt. 2 on the edge of downtown Cleveland. Going Westbound, there's an onramp from OH. Rt. 2 Eastbound just after it, so you have to cross over 2-4 lanes of traffic to get into Downtown Cleveland. Posted speed limit is 35 mph. Lots of traffic accidents involving ice/snow, tractor-trailors, and drunk drivers.

Then you get to have fun trying to hit I-77 or I-71 so you can get ANYWHERE into Southern or Western Cleveland and the accompanying suburbs. Another fine mess from the fucktards at ODOT!
"This jerkoff was trying to race me from the minute I got on the freeway, but I dusted his ass on Dead Man's Curve doing 70 mph."

"I was on my way to see you and a bunch of stunters on crotch rockets were weaving all over Dead Man's Curve, I was sure one of them was gonna crash."

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.
