1) A deliberate misspelling of "historical" and "hysterical" to create a portmanteau, which means literally "very funny history" or "funny today, though it was serious at the time."

2) An extension of this meaning is to derisively imply that something today is garbage, of little importance, or no value — but might have "histerical value" in the future.

1) "The TV Show Dragnet is a histerical example of 1960s attitudes."

2) "I am keeping these videos of Trump speaking for their histerical value."

Boffin

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.
