magic dirt theory 

The idea that where a person lives determines their behavior, when in reality it's the people who live in a given location that determine if said location is safe or not.
Liberals sure believe in the magic dirt theory--they think that if they move DeShawn out of the ghetto and into the rich white suburbs, he'll suddenly be a good student and make something of himself.

magic dirt theory 

Likely a strawman created by the far right to make racial/ethnic egalitarians look like silly, naive magic believers.

Guessing that this theory states that people's behavior are determined by the location they're in through "magic". Pretty much no one actually believes that people will change behavior once they enter an area. The far right can't actually "prove" their "superiority" so they have to compare themselves to made up magic believers even stupider than them to give them a false sense of intelligence. If you see someone use this term against you, that's a sign that they're just a troll who just want to make you mad.
A: "Different races and ethnicities are still part of the same species. Any non appearance or cultural based differences are too small to count any race or ethnicity as actually better than others."

B: "ANOTHER BELIEVER IN MAGIC DIRT THEORY AND ANOTHER LIBTARD EPICLY PWNED!!!"

A: "'Magic Dirt Theory'? The hell's that? Some strawman you created?"

B: "HOW ARE YOU SO DUMB AS TO NOT KNOW THE THEORY YOU BELIEVE IN? CAN'T EXPECT SHIT FOR A LIBTARD EMPHASIS ON THE L AND THE TARD"

A: "Another day another troll"

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.
