neuroatypical 

Neuroatypical refers to people whose neurological structure or function doesn't fit what the medical community defines as "normal".

Neuroatypical people could be on the Autism Spectrum, on the schizophrenia spectrum, have bipolar disorder, have ADHD, or other non-neurotypical conditions.

A synonymous term is neurodivergent and an antonym is neurotypical. A group of people whose neuro types are varied is neurodiverse.
All of the above terminology were coined by the Autistic community.

Neurotypical syndrome 

Neurotypical syndrome (a.k.a. NT,also known as arrogant mob syndrome, or Microsoft Windows Syndrome) is a life-long and serious mental disorder affecting people everywhere. Symptoms include inflated ego, mob formation, readiness to follow idiots, and possibly the formation of a large goiter. Persons afflicted with this disorder should be referred to as persons with Neurotypical syndrome, persons with NT or persons who have NT. Though it seems that most persons with NT would prefer to be referred to as neurotypicals, NTs or even normals, nobody cares about their opinions.
Although Neurotypical Syndrome is a serious, lifelong mental condition, persons with NT can live happy, long, successful lives with the help of therapy, provided that the therapist is an aspie or autistic. Through many sessions, they may overcome some of their many debilitating handicaps and become more akin to an autistic. In a few cases, NTs have been rumored to have reached near the level of an aspie, but said claims have not been confirmed...........This explains why autistic people have more intelligence than neurotypicals. Neurotypicals are dumber and stupid. So glad.

Neurotypical Syndrome 

Also known as a non-autistic person i.e. a person who doesn't have autism. Neurotypical syndrome has a high prevalence in the population, to the extent it is often considered normal. Hence, the inclusion of the term 'typical' in the naming of the syndrome.
Neurotypical syndrome has been defined by Steve Silberman as a neurobiological disorder characterised by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity. There is no known cure.
Chris drinks beer because Big Terry drinks it, even though Chris doesn't like the taste of beer. This appears to be symptom of neurotypical syndrome.

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.
