A student who enters college with the expectation that it will be a continuation of high school -- grade 13, if you will. Unprepared, unwilling, and unmotivated are just a few words they subscribe to. The concept of learning repulses and bores them; classes are so much better when answers are served on a silver platter.
Suzy: Man, I hate my college professor. He expects us to study and apply ourselves to our work!
Mark: Quit being a Grade 13er, Suzy. This is college.
Post Grade 11 Syndrome (PGES) is a phenomenon that occurs during the high school years, often as a result of excessive partying, drug use, or other activities that have a negative effect on brain function and development. It is usually not noticed right away by the sufferer, but becomes more apparent in hindsight once a substantial amount of brain cells have been killed off. Symptoms of this syndrome include but are not limited to: walking into rooms and forgetting why your there, forgetting facts you found easy to remember in middle or grade school, and hooking up with people and having a hard time remembering their names. In short, Post Grade 11 syndrome is essentially a slow process of generally going down hill that begins during high school, and ends whenever you actually grow up or die.

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
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.
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 peecalculus.
