Degrees of Ignorance 

Starting with any article on Wikipedia, the number of clicks that are required for you to find a sentence that you recognize/understand is your degree of ignorance.
I looked up trace theory the other day, but in order to understand that, I had to click through to free monoid, and from their to the entry on monoid, and from there to algebraic structure, which understand. So, I don't understand trace theory by 3 degrees of ignorance.

Degrees Cali 

The degrees of temperature Californians measure the climate in. Because they live in such a warm place, they become cold at unusually high temperatures. Thus, when converted to degrees Cali, 47 degrees Fahrenheit is 32 degrees Cali, 60 degrees Fahrenheit is 45 degrees Cali, etc. However, once you get to about 75-100 degrees Fahrenheit, the conversion stays the same.
"Omg it's so cold right now."
*looks at phone* "it's 47 degrees"
"That's sooooo cold!"
"It's like freezing in the midwest and east coast right now..."
"It's freezing HERE right now!"
"Yeah I guess it is in degrees Cali"

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.
