Friends-in-Law 

Those friends you HAVE to be friends with out of respect for someone you actually do like (especially your spouse). You see them at parties you don’t want to go to, you invite them to your parties and they don't bring anything, they friend request you, they ask you personal questions, they tell eveyone you are really good friends, you secretly hope they get a new job out of the country.
"So-and-so, or one of my friends-in-law, just showed up. After he gave me the half empy bag of chips he brought to share he asked me how our bankruptcy was going. Don't tell him personal sh*t and don't invite him anywhere ever again."

friend-in-law 

The best friend of your wife or girlfriend, similar to a sister-in-law.
Are your coming with us to the game?
No, I have to go over to my friend-in-law's house to put up storm windows.

friend-in-law 

A good friend of a good friend. Even if you tend to hang out in the same circles often, this person would only qualify as more of an acquaintance.

Not someone you would desire to hang out with alone. Either because you only talk to the person large group settings and never really directly bonded, or because it's someone with whom you share nothing in common (other than a similar friend) and it would be awkward and uncomfortable to spend time alone together.

Most often it is a significant other's best friend.
"Nah, I don't see Megan anymore ever since Dave moved away. She was only a friend-in-law anyway."

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.
