25 lighters

This is where drug dealers take the cheap, plastic Bic lighters and take them apart. Wash them out and rig them to put crack and coke in them. They would fill them up and sell them individually like you would do in baggies, only when you're holding a lighter it looks less suspicious than holding a bag or vile. They would just pass them off, hand to hand
or someone would ask to borrow a lighter. Hence 25 lighters means someone's got 25 viles to sell, hence the "Got's to get paid" part.
John: Man, that my jam. DJ DMD, Fat Pat and Lil Keke all went hard on "25 lighters". That shit is a dirty south classic!

Xav: Damn right shawty, "25 lighters on my dresser, yes sir, I got to get paid".

ploddle's blue lighters 

a kenning (a compound expression in poetry with metaphorical meaning) for a 'matrix on attack mode'; when ploddle's lighter glitches and clones itself it means the matrix is on attack mode, lighters are probably the glitchiest item in the matrix when it's on attack mode, second only to keys.
Andrew Tate: I'm getting ploddle's blue lighters, the matrix has attacked me
Na'vi: Oel ngati kameie xhittay fglattu (I see you are full of shit)

25 lighters

25 lighters is

how you get paid.

Being from H-town and steeped in the culture the prior definition is logistically taxing and inaccurate. . You can’t open a lighter and put anything in them. That’s time consuming and a waste of a lighter. The reason you would have 25 lighters on your dresser is if you sell then you know people go all night. Sometimes the only thing that would stop them is running their lighters down to nothin. Hence. A smart dealer buys lighters in bulk to keep the smokers going til the money runs out. Not the butane.

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.
