Japanese word for "big sister"

onee-sama 

A Japanese term made of these parts:
1. The 'o-' prefix, indicating a respectful tone.
2. 'nee', meaning 'sister'.
3. The '-sama' suffix, an honorific denoting extreme respect as might be used when addressing noble figures or gods.

Onee-sama is an unusual, overly formal way of referring to one's sister. For most everyday purposes, the neutrally formal 'onee-san' or familiar 'onee-chan' would suffice: only those raised in highly formal settings would even contemplate using 'onee-sama' in a non-sarcastic way (as one might say in English 'oh of course your highness').

'Onee-sama' is a term mostly popularised by manga and anime, specifically shoujo-ai (love between young girls) series set in high-class boarding schools (see Strawberry Panic for a textbook example). Because of this association, 'onee-sama' is inextricably tied to the more elegant side of the shoujo-ai genre: a young girl using the term to address an older, unrelated girl could be hinting at a deeper relationship between the two of them. Or they could just be messing with you.
IRL (sort of): "Onee-sama, I hope you aren't labouring under the misapprehension that your seniority over me justifies you putting on airs."
Shoujo-ai fantasy: "Onee-sama, would you please become my soeur?"

OneRepublic Syndrome (ORS) 

A highly contagious yet ironically desirable disorder, ORS is a sudden amazement and dumbfoundedness of the beauty of any music played by the world famous band known as OneRepublic. The effects of ORS are lingering; it will leave most people in what can appear to be a state of obsession for OneRepublic, as well as a strong hunger for more music by or similar to the incredibly beautiful and melodious band.

Though a somewhat recent band and therefore rather new syndrome, there have been at least two large outbreaks across the globe of ORS in history. The first being the largest and most prominentmwas caused mainly by one song, as these effects commonly are. Titled "Apologize," it destroyed and set records all over the planet, easily becoming the most aired song on the radio between the years of 2005 and 2006, only to be beaten by one song, "Bleeding Love," which was written by Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic's lead singer.

The second most well-known case, also the most recent, was caused by the song "Good Life." Appealing mostly to the young audience of today's pop culture, which has grown quickly and gained much more attention in recent years, "Good Life" has become a song a huge number of the population has come to love because of its message and beauty.
Benjamin told me he had first been diagnosed with OneRepublic Syndrome (ORS) years ago, and it is still highly effective on him to this day.

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.

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.
