Merkelist 

Someone who wants to destroy their own country.

A naive person who makes irrational, impulsive decisions without thinking through the consequences. Someone who wants to undo all the good work of their patriotic predecessors.

An individual in high authority who acts irresponsibly e.g. Like a teenager who invites everyone to her house party on social media. They have a great party but in the cold sober light of the next day, the gatecrashers have wrecked her parents house. A Merkelist will do this with a whole country, or even worse, an entire Union of countries!
The policies of that party are going to bring havoc to this country, their leader must be a Merkelist.

Merkel Effect 

Describes a double-standard, where elected officials do not care about civil rights violations concerning ordinary citizens, but scandalize similar violations when they happen to them.

Coined by Edward Snowden.
"It's equally if not more concerning that we're seeing another 'Merkel Effect,' where an elected official does not care at all that the rights of millions of ordinary citizens are violated by our spies, but suddenly it's a scandal when a politician finds out the same thing happens to them."

Edward Snowden in an interview with NBC news.

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.
