docuganda 

A film that uses documentary style to spread propaganda. Usually, docuganda will set out a premise and then attack any skeptics, rather than actually attempt to prove the case. The effect is that you either agree with the premise or you look like a fool. The word was specifically coined to refer to UFO "documentaries," such as "In Search Of," which provide anecdotal evidence for a phenomenon, draw a conclusion based on that evidence, and then attack any possible competing conclusions.
Everybody said that documentary was amazing and that it really opened their eyes. When I watched it, I was shocked by how manipulative it was. It was not a documentary; it was docuganda.

A land one travels to when laying an immense, unconscionably steamy dugan. Dissimilar to the country of Uganda in the sense that it is not a physical location - but rather a state of mind, but similar in the sense that if you go there - you must absolutely be prepared for what lies ahead.
Guy 1: WHAT!? No, NO! You ate 3 steaks, a can of pinto beans, a cheesy gordita crunch and 2 ahi tuna rolls in the last 4 hours!
Guy 2: (Grimly, solemly) Yes, it's true. I have made the necessary preparations. Next stop, DUGANDA!

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.
