hood fails

accounts that show people partaking in petty crime, or generally goofing off, especially in a low-income neighbourhood, but show the doer failing, often spectacularly.

alternatively, a genre of instagram account that usually post fast-paced videos that consist of snippets of funny videos cut such that the punchline in each either exists or is cut off. given the rapid-fire nature of how they are edited, the videos are intentionally overstimulating leaving the viewer no other appropriate reaction other than to laugh. for flavour, the editor may slip in popular memes and images, and deliberately include lewd artworks depicting but not limited to furries and anime girls

usually, there would be a place name (or object) appended before "hood fails" for example toronto, nebraska, and the posts would usually contain some videos referencing that place.

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.
