Person 1: I didn't know Hugh Laurie had a British accent!

hugh laurie 

A British actor who I grew up watching on Black Adder and that other show he did with that fag. He has the worst phony American accent known to man and somehow feels he has to change his voice when he speaks American English. If Americans actually thought he was American, they need to kick themselves in the nuts HARD, because he may as well be speaking Punjabi.
Hugh Laurie sucks as an American, stay British you faggot.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
