overhyped 

Basically means overrated. But when something is overhyped it is really too much. Been there, done that. Enough said.

Can be used to say to describe a state of high elation.

overtype mode 

The biggest bitch in word processing programs. Ever. There is absolutey no point to this feature. At all.
I wrote my twelve page essay on quatum mechanics only to find a mispelled word on the third sentence of my second paragraph with overtype mode on. Needless to say, I was not happy.

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.
