pass the peas 

a jazz term where the lead or solo is passed in a circle around the musicians, with each musician getting a solo break while everyone else backs them. Usually at the end of each solo the musician performing will announce that he is done by replaying the primary melody of the song, signifying a change coming up.
I saw that great band the other night pass the peas. The drummer killed it. The bass player played with his face, and the guitar player lit his amp on fire.

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.
