Fabric softener kid 

This term is used when wanting to talk about a kid who is being a little retard in public, while not offending them or the mother. The play on words is derived from the following:

Fabric Softner --> Downy --> down syndrome --> retard.

since it is no longer socially acceptable to call a kid a retard, or claim they have down syndrome; this term works well because it is perfectly private, and no one knows what the fuck your saying.
-" Did you see that kid knocking over all those glasses in the Vogue Optical?"
-"yeah, either he's got bad parents or hes a fabric softener kid."

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.
