likeamother 

Originating from the Canadian Comedian and Hip-hop Dancer Daniel Rouleau, "Likeamother" is a term used to express strong disapproval or frustration towards a situation, person, or behavior that is extremely annoying, selfish, ignorant, or cowardly. It highlights the speaker's empathy and concern, suggesting that they would not want their own mother or anyone else's mother to have to endure such a negative experience. The phrase is derived from the more vulgar term "like a motherfucker" but is intended as a more empathetic and relatable expression.
Example 1:)

John: "Did you hear about what happened to Sarah at work today? Her boss blamed her for his own mistake!"
Jane: "Wow, that's messed up. No one should have to deal with that kind of nonsense, likeamother."

Example 2:)
Mark: "I can't believe the way that driver cut us off in traffic!"
Tina: "I know, right? It's so dangerous and thoughtless, likeamother."

Example 3:)
Liam: "Our neighbor keeps blasting loud music late at night, and it's affecting my sleep."
Emma: "Ugh, that's so inconsiderate, likeamother. Have you tried talking to them about it?"

Example 4:)

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.
