foundations 

n. a term used widely until the 1970s to describe various women's undergarments such as girdles, bustles, corsets, etc. Girdles and corsets slimmed down the moderately obese lady who could tolerate them. Corsets also gave an hourglass figure to a thin person, such as Scarlett O'hara.
Mrs. Gottrocks went to the foundations department at Neiman Marcus to check out the lastest styles in girdles.

Foundations of Scientific Inquiry 

Called FSI, probably one of the most annoying forms of science ever devised. It involves theories, memorization of the periodic table, and lots of algebra that require four steps to solve. Many of these have frustrating formulas in order to determine specific heat, Boor's Law, mole to atom conversions, orbital notation, balancing from the activity series, and many others that can make your life miserable. Usually, the bookwork involves a large amount of problems that take hours to complete. The tests are also your worst enemy, and those who study for seven freaking hours usually get a 50 on every single test.
Scenario 1:
Miss Sakuraba: For homework tonight, please complete problems 1-9, doing every single problem!
Susumu: Are you freaking high on marijuana!? There can possibly be no way I can do every single one of them!

Scenario 2:
God dang it I failed Miss Sakuraba's Foundations of Scientific Inquiry class and now I have to take it again!

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.
