Mental Abuse 

Any act or comment made by another person that logically, makes absolutely no sense to everyone else present. Those affected are left in a state of confusion and often spend a significant amount of time trying to understand what just happened. In nearly every case, the victims are unable to form a rational conclusion to alleviate the feeling that they’ve been somehow mentally violated by the perpetrator. Mental abuse happens frequently in environments where statements of “respect” or “attitude” are continually berated from parent to child in an effort to gain control. It is also a common side effect of absolute ignorance and shares many of the same symptoms of multi-generational inbreeding.
Parent: "Maybe you need to look on the inside and see if you're just the jealous brother and he's really the Prodigal Son."
Son: "What does this have to do with whether or not I can have a lock on my door? I'm tired of him stealing my stuff when I'm not here."
Parent (yelling): "IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT! YOU NEED AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT AND START SHOWING SOME RESPECT!"
Son (thinking): "What the??? This is Mental Abuse!"

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.
