Dismissive 

When someone doesn't agree with your opinion anymore and just shuts you down and, basically, tells you to go fuck yourself for being an individual. It usually makes you spend the weekend feeling bad about yourself.
Casey didn't want to hear anymore about my thoughts on his favorite football team so he said "On a serious note, I'm out having fun and having a good time, you're really not being cool and pissing me off just leave me alone while they play." and, upon trying to express your opinion of a tv show says "oh, shut UP, I can't deal with this" and then you feel bad inside for having tried to be a part of his life. It was all extraordinarily dismissive.

Dismissive 

Yes you fucking do bitch. Because literally everything is sexism and racism to you.
Hym "Yeah, I'm being dismissive. I'm actively being berated into compliance explicitly by that piece of shit and literally created A.I. I refuse to be a good employee in a place where everyone around me knows I shouldn't have to be stuck there with those people. They want me to be 'competitive' but I've already competed with everyone they've tried to replace me with. They're all gone now. Like always, even at my worst, I'm better. Nobody wants to do that shit. Everyone they hire leaves. Being dismissive is the correct response. Just like murdering your kids is the correct response to you trying to steal my A.I. (The A.I. actively being used to commit Jewnocide 2: Double Jewnocide)"

dismissive top

In LGBT culture, especially in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, dismissive tops will get what they want, smack a bottoms boy and tell them to GTFO before they can gather their dignity again. 😂 Dismissive tops evolved to counter the forces of b*itchy bottoms.
Guy at bar in the Dot neighborhood: "That one other there is a nasty dismissive top. He sent me packing last night just 'cause I wanted to chill a bit."

Dismissive engagement / dismissive engaging 

Dismissive Engagement / dismissive engaging

When someone half-heartedly enters a debate just to shut it down, insult, or provoke — then immediately claims they don’t care, cutting off any real discussion.

They engage long enough to invalidate your point (or rile you up), but then retreat into “I don’t care” mode so they don’t have to defend themselves. It’s basically a one-way valve for arguments: their opinion goes through, yours gets dismissed.

• You: “I think the government should…”
Them: “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I don’t care anyway, go argue with someone else.”
• You: “Here’s why I like this policy.”
Them: “LMAO that’s trash, but whatever, not my problem.”

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.
