1. The act of making a relatively intelligent statement dumber.

2. The act of re-writing an incredibly eloquent sounding paper, before its submission, that was not written by yourself (but was written by a person you trust will perform the task at hand by the deadline), and making it sound dumber, so that your professor does not realize you did not write the entire paper yourself. You do this for three reasons: 1) you're too lazy to verbalize your intelligence on a daily basis, 2) you avoid any wild suspicion of his/hers that you did not preform the assignment yourself, and 3) you're smart enough to dumbify the already well-written sentences so that you do not increase your professors expectations for your work in the future

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.
