I just avoided a crash on my way to work, honest to blog that was the closest I've ever come to death.

Person 1: "I just got my second face lift in three years."
Person 2: "Honest to blog?"

Honest to blog 

An embarrassing phrase meant to indicate an inquisitive challenge to someone's sincerity as an interrogative (Honest to blog?), or a claim of solemnity as a declarative utterance (Honest to blog!). The phrase found a modicum of popularity amongst idiots back in 2008 thanks to Diablo Cody. It was lame at the time, and has since fallen further out out of usage. It was one of a number of crappy pieces of dialogue that were deemed Oscar worthy by the crusty old members of the Academy, who only awarded the film anything because they wanted to look cool and down with "teen speak" despite not having a fucking clue what any of it meant or the fact that that no one would ever talk like that. The decline in the usage of a term like "honest to blog" is perhaps indicative of a growing cultural awareness of of the crumminess of the film's pseudo teen talk and an acceptance that such bullshit isn't so god damn cute anymore.

For further examples of such out of touch and stupid phrases, see Diablo Cody's shitty post-Juno writing credits (Jennifer's Body, Burlesque et.al.)
"Hey, did you hear Juno won the Oscar for best original screenplay?"
"Honest to Blog?"
"...dude, shut the FUCK up."

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.
