message board decoder ring

A mythical tool used to decipher message board posts made by a person who is speaking to one individual person about something only the two of them understand....both of whom, ironically, are usually tools themselves. The goal of the tools is to hope people wonder what they are talking about. The tools can only be thwarted by a decoder ring tool.
Oh bless my stars, another incoherent post by the ancient one....I MUST know what it means! Now....where did I leave that message board decoder ring....

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.
