When you are playing music at an open mic night and a complete stranger jumps on stage and starts playing with you without asking.

Highly annoying, especially if said stranger isn't nearly as good as they think they are.

A portmanteau word from "jam" and "ambush." Past tense "jambushed."
Roommate: Yo, how was open mic tonight?

Bleeding-heart songwriter: Lame. Got jambushed by this drunk harmonica player. Just leaped up without saying anything and started doing terrible, terrible things to my song.

Roommate: Sucks, dude.

jambushed 

When one unwittingly opens a Myspace page and is surprised by the music loaded onto the profile. This usually occurs when the subject's speakers are at an above normal volume, but wasn't previously listening to something. Often a furious and spastic search ensues to close the offending page.

In some cases, a Myspace profile will have more than one song loaded onto it. The resulting sound can be described as no less than an aural car accident.
I opened her myspace up and went back to finish the e-mail I was writing, only to have a good 20 seconds of Fall Out Boy at an earsplitting volume.

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.
