Owl neck detection device 

Basically, an owl neck detection device is a device needed to determine where an owl's neck is. It is used when babysitting an owl, when it comes to tucking the owl into its bed. It is needed after you have put the pyjamas on the owl and made it lose its mind (owls are nocturnal- I'm wearing pyjamas but I've got to go out!).

An owl is essentially a one piece unit, its just a head and a body. Therefore a neck detection device is very handy on determining where the blanket needs to be pulled up to.
The neck detection device is essentially just a stick with a pointy thing on it, you put it next to the owl and it points to the neck and you pull the blanket up to that point and remove the device and tip the owl back. Sorted.
"Never put a blanket over an owl. Unless of course you're babysitting an owl and it wants tucking in. In which case, its fine."
"Can you tuck me in please?"
"But I'm never supposed to put a blanket over an owl."
"I'm ever so chilly. Can you tuck me in please, I'm ver-ver chilly"
"Alright just this once but its breaking all the rules.

"Is that it?"
"Its still not high enough"
"What about that?"
"It doesnt even cover my owl boobs!"
"Well how about that?"
"What are you doing?! You trying to kill me you mad bastard? You nearly suffocated me!"
"I don't know where your neck is do I!"
"Well you could have asked! Or at least use an owl neck detection device!"

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.
