Octopush 

Awesome sport played underwater in a pool, with a lead puck and snorkelling gear. Two teams of 6, 4 subs.

No, the sticks aren't a metre long, that would be silly. They're 30cm max length and can easily lift the 1Kg puck off the bottom of the pool. Good players can get long (3m+) and high (1m+) flicks. Neither is it a slow sport - players wear fins and can go much MUCH faster than boring old lane swimmers.

AKA Underwater Hockey (UWH):
Invented in 1954, the original English rules had 8 players per team and the sticks are called 'pushers', hence "Octopush".

The rules are generally similar to hockey. When going for strike at the start of a game, all the players start at their goal line. There's 2-3 water refs in a competition, plus timekeeper and a poolside ref.

There are national and international competitions. Pretty big in New Zealand, South Africa, USA, UK, France, Australia, Portugal, Netherlands...

Water Polo players think their sport is challenging, but they struggle to think below the surface:
Speed Swimmers: "I can do fifty in blah blah blah..."

Water Polo: "Ug? Me drown you"

Free Diver: "I can hold my breath for blah blah blah..."

Underwater Rugby: "O hai, can I hold you?"

Octopusher: <elitist smirk>

Octopushy 

(Said in a Sean Connery accent) - it's when you are so desperate to to push people out of your way that you become an eight armed, ninja warrior/Tasmanian devil, whirling around shoving everyone out of your path.
Holly: Julie got all Octopushy up in the shoe department on Saturday.
Leslie: What? Why? Julie is such a sweet girl!
Holly: Those Vince Camuto boots she's wearing were 75% off and the last pair in her size!

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.
