N. pronounced like hovels.
The fanatic minions who worship the University of Tennessee football team. Etmy. Derived from the ritual chant often heard emanating from the mouths of the UT Volunteer fans "Go Vols!" 'Vols' of course being short for Volunteers, which is far too many syllables for the average govol. Govols can be detected by their orange paraphernalia, drunken state, lack of respect for humanity, and generally obesity. Govols should be considered marginally dangerous after UT looses, but unless you are in some way crippled you can easily outrun a govol.
Human: Holy crap!, There are giant oranges rolling down the street.
Knoxville, TN resident: No dont worry, there is a football game today, that's just a herd of govols.

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.
