Bomb Dresden

British slang dating from World War II meaning to defecate, take a dump or shit. The phrase came about due to the heavy bombing of Dresden by the allies due to the concentration of military targets in and around the city. Dresden was also a centre of porcelain manufacture and since toilet bowls are made of porcelain, wartime humour made the connection, that and the societal requirement to use a polite euphemism, that if you went to take a crap you went to bomb Dresden.
“I think something was wrong with those sausages, I’m off on an urgent mission to bomb Dresden.”

The Dreaded Scoot 

The act of the dreaded scoot relies on your partner having shitty matted ass dreads (the longer the easier to complete). To accomplish this power move involves taking your partner from behind, whilst comfortably clapping checks, grasp two hands full of ass dread. In this position proceed to ride your partner as if you were holding the handle bars of a razor scooter.
“Dude as I was getting fucked last night, I fully experienced the dreaded scoot. The grip was so tight my dreads were ripped clean off my butt.”

The Dreaded Throw and Go 

The unfortunate condition of suffering simultaneously from symptoms of both diarrhea and vomiting, brought on by various stomach viruses, but more commonly associated with the consumption of tequila followed by Denny's/IHOP. The patient is usually left in the precarious position of requiring several disposal receptacles simultaneously, with the use of a toilet and a small trash barrel being the best-case scenario. Following its normal course, which may persist for hours, recovery is usually dependent on either rest or additional tequila.
E.g.: Dude, what's that fucking smell?! Josh, did you just Throw and Go in my backseat?!

E.g.:

Q: Anyone seen Cheryl?
A: Yeah, she's been in the bathroom with The Dreaded Throw and Go.

The Dresden Dolls 

The Dresden Dolls consists of Amanda and Brian singing the best brechtian punk cabaret band ever. Brian met Amanda while Amanda was performing solo with her piano.
"During one point in the evening, she sat down to play her songs on the piano. What came out of her when she started though.....when I saw how she was grimacing and POUNDING on the piano keys, when I listened to how the lyrics and the erie melodies she was evoking from the piano came flowing out onto everyone listening with these floods of emotion and angst, I thought, 'Ohhh yeahhh, I have GOT to play music with this freak...' It was such a tremendous feeling. I knew I had found some kind of kindred spirit. I feel an amazing connection with Amanda. I feel totally solid with her, on stage and as a friend. We trust and respect each other a great deal. It's a very interesting thing, playing off only one other person. The amount of concentration it allows you to play off what they're doing musically can allow for very intimate and dynamic interplay. I feel very fortunate to be in a situation with this person where I'm allowed to play as expressively as I can and the styles can shift between jazzy "saloon" type numbers, or bombastic, high energy songs, or more interpretive pieces that I can play with mallets. It's always a real challenge and a great way to let your imagination go..." - Brian Viglione

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.
