Gravesend Bay 

An area in south-west Brooklyn which is a small part of the Lower New York Bay.
The area begins at Sea Gate (Coney Island peninsula), and ends at the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

The Bay is a popular spot for active people because there is a water-walk where people can run, bike, blade, or just stroll around on a nice summer's day.

The spot is also particularly popular because of Ceasers Bay, which includes many chainstores like Toys'r'us, Kohl's, Modell's, Best Buy, as well as a few eateries.
Yo man lets chill over at Gravesend Bay.

gravesend 

While there are several places named Gravesend, this definition pertains to the neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y. of that name.

Gravesend in Brooklyn isn't quite a "hole", but it's not a very exciting place either. From the perspective of a resident and also of a somewhat-youth, probably the only things that are useful about Gravesend are its endless 99 cent stores and discount stores, and its convenient closeness to Coney Island. Besides those things, Gravesend is depressingly average.
There is not as much crime here as in other neighborhoods in N.Y. In the past few years, there have been a few shootings (most unfortunately), some stabbings, and a whole bunch of potential rapists (watch out for them!!), but it could be a lot worse.
The population of Gravesend was very Italian but is slowly becoming predominantly Asian.
If you want to go somewhere "hip", go to Park Slope, don't go to Gravesend.

Gravesend 

Well, first off, you don’t live in SE London you absolute neek. You are from Kent. Stop putting ‘SE London’ in your Instagram bio. Same goes for the yutes out in Bromley, Dartford and Orpington. Stfu.

Gravesend in itself is a shitpit and breeding ground for 11 year old wanna be Jack Grealishes that think theyre going to be the next big thing, all because they won their Primary school football interhouse and asked their barber for a haircut like Grealish. Slim chance. These are the sort of kids that hang around their local Tesco acting all big with their BMXs that their mum got them for Christmas.

Despite the council’s efforts to improve this town, hanging up a few flags in town doesn’t make much of a big difference. Half of the town has been neglected with unfinished or abandoned buildings— shoutout to the hospital. They are either used by 14 year olds ‘explore’ so they can post it onto their private sc story and act so quirky, or by 17 year old dealers that come along wiv the occasional graffer.

The thing this town hates the most is a local Graff artist that goes by ‘Nugs’. Legend has it, Nugs pissed on someone’s grandma! How scandalous! This hatred is displayed widely throughout the Gravesend region and is noticed by many civilians. (PS. There’s a piece by Nugs that’s unruined on the A2)

The only thing this town is known for is Pocahontas and actors on TV soaps, such as Eastenders or Coronation Street.

All in all, Gravesend is your standard British town.
Person 1: What ends you from?
Person 2: South East England yk
Person 1: Calm, where abouts?
Person 2: SE London
Person 1: Ah, like Bexley n all that?
Person 2: Nah g, Gravesend.
Person 1: You Gravesendians are absolute dusty neeks, I swear. Clear from my sight.

The Gravesande

A recently discovered skill move. It involves ball rolling forwards then stopping the ball with your knee, then fake a scoop turn to widen the legs of your opponent. An easy smash with the left or right foot ensures your opponent gets nutmegged so hard, he digs himself a sandy grave, as pointed out by the name.
"Oli you got nutmegged so hard"
"Well, he used the Gravesande"

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.
