As a kid just over the line from RI, I would wait by the radio on snowy school mornings hanging on every word of school closings that Salty Brine would call out. While most times my school had to go to school, *GROAN!* there was most always a school that made the no school cut. I can still hear Salty's teaasing voice as he knew we all knew what was coming shouting out with glee: "No School Foster Glocester!!" Who were these lucky kids...geeeez!?!? lol

Salty Brines most called out snow day was for No School Foster Glocester!

Boffin

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.
