Shooting gallery

(noun) A location that is a safe haven for IV drug users to be around like-minded individuals, where they can consume/inject their drugs without fear of any scrutiny, prejudice or negative repercussions. More often than not such places also sell drugs that is readily available.
You could tell that Tara didn't know that Jenny's place was a popular neighborhood shooting gallery. The first thing she saw was Tommy hitting Johnny with some clear, Stevie hitting Raymond with some clear and I was injecting Shannon with some clear. If Tara had stayed around a bit longer she might could have snuck a few peeps of me injecting Shannon with some of my premium grade seen. But alas it looked as though she had seen enough already to make her skin crawl.

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.
