Makin' Paper

The term "makin' paper" is slang for earning money.

An example of this can be found in Alicia Key's song "Unbreakable", where she sings:

"See, we could act out like Will and Jada (Will and Jada)
Or like Kimora and Russell makin' paper, oh yeah..."

This statement is completely accurate taking into account the fact that Russell Simmons co-founded the successful Def Jam Recordings, is CEO of Rush Communications Inc., and was a member of the successful hip-hop group Run-DMC. Not to mention, he makes an exceptional amount of money from his Phat Farm clothing line, as does his wife, Kimora Lee Simmons from her Baby Phat clothing line (an extention of Phat Farm). I would definately agree they are "makin' paper", hah.
Marty: "Damn, did you hear how much Scientolo-psycho Tom Cruise got for starring in 'Mission Impossible: 3'?"

Cooper: "Hell yeah. That dude is makin' paper majorly."

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.
