Monk Fishing 

A newley invented sport created at a seafood shop, where one spots out that of which he/she would like to "bone" or "spoon" ... or in politer terms, if he/she would have to be on an island with one person to whom they are attracted. The code then spoken aloud, not screamed or shouted, is "MonkFish" thus signaling that the person has found that of whom they would rather "spoon". This game involves two or more people playing where each judges anothers choice thus deciding best one, those of whom do not declare "Monkfish" of times meet, is then disqualified. Limitations of to whom and other relating factors (such as age, sex, relationship with that person) is not applicable unless they are a member of the game, aka: you can only "Monkfish" that who is not involved in the game.
Chef: "Once you find the person you would spend alone with on the island scream out the code, 'Monkfish' "

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.
