Vas happening 

Devised by the good-looking, one and only Zayn Malik from One Direction.

They lived with Zayn and their room was vile

Vas happening boys? Vas happening boys?
Did you know, Harry's such a slob?
He needs to win the xFactor 'cause he can't get a job

And oh, Louis needs a boat
He dresses like he owns one
'cause he's got no other clothes
They really need your vote
Vas Happening boys? Vas Happening boys?
Mick Jagger could be Harry's dad,
Vas happening mum? Vas happening Mick?
When Liam sings he makes his face look sad
Vas Happening song, vas happening sad?
And Zayn, the master of echoes
And Niall was raised by leprachauns
so he won't ever grow

And oh, Louis needs that boat
He dresses like he owns one
and it's becoming a joke

They really need your vote

it's all happening 

When circumstances start falling in place as if fate is bringing destiny to fruition.

*likely originated from, or was at least popularized by, the character "Penny Lane" in Cameron Crowe's film Almost Famous
Last month, I was fed up with my shitty friends, lost my favorite hat I'd had for 9 years, got 7 traffic violations, and had a dead end job, but now, I'm meeting a bunch of amazing people, got a new job that feels fulfilling, and feel like more good is coming my way--it's all happening.

Bitch, why you hoevering?!
Oh my god, she was hoevering all over Nephew.

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.
