Face Painting 

Face Painting (also referred to as 'MySpin') is internet slang for the practice of sprinkling a social networking profile with embellishments, fantasy, and satire, often with humorous or political intentions. Face painters play with the truthiness of identity by conducting a campaign of misinformation to protect their true identity.

Face Painting is closely related to Google Bombing

The term was coined in 2007 in the wake of the Facebook Beacon backlash and the Soble scandal. Face painters aim to introduce a bit of noise and chaos back into the system, clearing some space for true privacy, and enabling a form of direct political action that does not fall victim to Sunstein's critique of homogeneous, disjoint social sub-networks on the internet.
We spent the evening face painting our Facebook profiles.

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.
