flanning 

Making plans that one does not intend to keep. It is flake planning. The purpose of flanning is to make it seem to the other person that you like them and want to spend time with them, when in reality you are hoping they cancel first so you don't have to see them.

When two people flan with each other, it becomes a game of chicken, each one waiting for the other to break and cancel first.
Scott bumped into Billy on the street after not seeing him for 3 years. They both enthusiastically agreed to have lunch and play racquetball in the near future, but I think they were both flanning.

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.

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.
