Jekyll & Hyde
Jekyll & Hyde was a Broadway musical in the late 90's written and composed by Leslie Bricusse and Frank Wildhorn. It's based (if rather loosely) on the novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson. The musical enjoyed a decent Broadway run and was a rather good show.
Unfortunatly, towards the end of its run David Hasselhoff was cast in the role of Jekyll/Hyde. He completely massacred the music and sadly his pitful performace has been captured on DVD for all eternity. Fans of the show or "Jekkies" often harbor an intense hatred for Hasselhoff because of the stigma he set for the show.
Jekyll & Hyde has several memorable songs including "This is the Moment", "A New Life", "In His Eyes" and "Bring on the Men" (which was not actually featured in the Broadway version").
The show has a number of devoted fans (Jekkies) and can still be seen all over the world. Recently, it has been annouced that "Jekyll & Hyde" will soon be made into a major motion picture. It is scheduled to come out in 2007 however, the cast is still unknown at the moment. The film is bound to be successful and will most likely result in a surge of the fan base, much like in the case of "The Phantom of the Opera" (perhaps the most extrodinary musical/story ever (I myself have been a proud "phan" for 9 years)). Many fans eagerly await the film's opening and are completely baffled as to who will be in the cast (hopefully not David Hasselhoff).

Person 1: "I just saw "Jekyll & Hyde", it was really good, I was suprised. I've heard bad things about the show, apparently David Hasselhoff used to be in it."
Jekkie:"David Hasselhoff is the bane of my existance. I'll rejoice in his death."
Person 1:".......k...."

Jekyll and Hyde Parenting
A style of parenting that provides a full spectrum of emotional and psychological experiences to a child vis-a-vis the parents’ instability and addictions which lays the groundwork for years of in-depth psychotherapies in which the child, throughout their lifespan, has the opportunity to undo the warp and find some semblance of balance and potentially, a sense of a true self.
Yup, at our house it was nose-to-the-grindstone discipline during the week and then Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride when the weekends rolled around; my parents were practicing devotees of Jekyll and Hyde Parenting.

Boffin
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.
