The Barrett M82A1 is a magazine-fed, semi-automatic advanced marksman rifle. Capable of engaging individual targets and equipment at distances of over a kilometer, the M82A1 is equipped with a 10-power scope, 10-round magazine and bipod. When you really need to reach out and touch someone - or something - nothing beats the M82A1. The M82A1 packs quite a punch. Its recoil means that you must reacquire the target after each shot. Because it is semi-automatic with a large round, it is prone to jamming. This is definitely a very long-range weapon. When it fires it gives off a puff of smoke, making it easier for the enemy to locate you, especially during daylight operations.
Soldier! Grab that M82A1 and intercept and engage any enemy forces!

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.
