going mexican

the act of three passengers occupying the front bench seats of a truck, even when there are clearly 2-3 more seats in the back.

term is derived from the observation that Mexicans will often all sit in the front with each other, leaving the back seat clearly vacant, probably so one person is not left to be a loner in the back seat.

Nothing against Mexicans, purely observational. I'm Salvadorean, and probably have more Mexican friends than Salvadoreans.

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.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
