light blubs 

A surprisingly common misspelling of the phrase, "light bulbs".
Works best when written or typed, vs. when spoken.
{From an email that I recently received}:

Craig,

What kind of light blubs does the SureFire 10X Dominator use, how much do they cost, and where can I find these critters online?

Thank you for taking the time to read & respond to my questions. :-)

The dust collects on light bulbs,Whatever shall we do?
I tried to clean it with a duster,
But it turned to sticky goo.

The light used to shine so brightly,
But now it’s gone away.
It seems as though the darkness,
Is here to always to stay.

What happened to my light bulb?
It used to shine so bright.
Now it’s always dark here,
What happened to the light?
The dust it is so dusty,
Believe me when I say,
Dust your light bulbs daily,
Or you will truly pay.

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.
