Jiu Jitsu is a grappling sport that uses chokes and locks. NOT kicks or punches like in UFC, or MMA. You can use wrestling takedowns or judo throws to takedown your opponent. Its the shit when compared to other martial arts, because most of the other guys know how to fight standing up, but when a jits guy takes your ass down, you dont know what to do when it happens.

Jiu jitsu is one of the core arts of MMA, if you don’t know what that is, stop reading.

Using frames and levers with the skeleton, given enough time and effort, anyone from a fit ex rock climber, wrestler, soccer player, etc, to the fattest, slob fuck at the grocery, to the small woman in your office, jiu jitsu will allow you to completely, if wanted or warranted, completely fucking ruin someone.
That little nerdy dude over there is in my jiu jitsu class. He will fuck you up so bad, so fast, and there will be almost nothing that you could do to stop it.

(Japanese) Jiu Jitsu is most defenetly the best martial art there is. The objecitive is to weaken your opponent by kicking and punching. After that you throw him/her on the ground and choke or hold your opponent to make him/her give up.

Unlike karate you dont have to bow to every fucking thing in the room.
Jiu Jitsu is the best martial art ever.

Jiu-Jitsu 

Literally translate to "Gentle Arts" in Japanese. In theory created more than 2000 years before Christ in India, by a monk who did not have a weapon to defeat themselves from barbarian attacks. The influences spread to China and eventually had taken root to Japan. The arts were elaborated and used in the Samurai Era to be the first martial arts ever known in Japan. This traditional arts involved in striking, throwing, or grappling. Hence the disciple of karate, judo, and aikido.
Arguably the most influential person in history of jiu-jitsu is Mitsuyo "Esai" Maeda

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.
