Golden Age of Nickelodeon 

Nickelodeon's prime years. Lasted from 1991 to the early 2000s where shows such as Rugrats, Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Global Guts, and the original All That were running on Nickelodeon. Many young adults who were kids at the time of these golden years refer to it as the best years on television.

90's Nickelodeon 

The time when Nickelodeon was worth watching. It featured shows such as Are You Afraid of the Dark?, My Brother and Me, Alex Mack, Ren and Stimpy, Doug, Salute Your Shorts, etc. Now Nickelodeon has sold out and if they brought back the old shows, their network would be doing better.

Nickelodeon

A channel that has sold out to the max. Used to have great shows like salute your shorts, pete and pete, and doug. Now they have these stupid mindless cartoons that would put a kid with adhd to sleep.

Nickelodeon

Used to be a classic favorite by all, it canceled all of it's good shows such as Welcome Freshmen, Salute Your Shorts, Rocko, Ren & Stimpy, and Nick Arcade. They started to aim towrds the sterotypical children that were spawning from somewhere. They began covering the new "pop" (aka. crap, homo-gays, %*&*) groups that were spawning from the same place as the sterotypical children. They struck back with Invader Zim, but was canceled because the type of humor flew right over the little kids heads. It now hold the personal record by about every person in America above the age of 13 as the worst television station and ahould be plagued with head cancer.
Nickelodeon REALLY sucks now.

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.
