Pasticide 

A term evolved after a conversation between two lovers discussing the unwanted resurgence of one of their ex partners; who seemingly simply refuses to go away. 'Pasticide' describes the feeling of frustration for the person who ended the relationship; but still must deal with their ex partner's presence in their life. It represents the inability to get rid of something toxic in your life from the past and the affect it has on the individual dealing with it.

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.
