Someone who outwardly pretends to be a caring/loving boyfriend, but is merely "there for show".

Serving as a placebeau is not necessarily a negative or even particularly dishonest occupation; a lady may actually request your accompanying her as a "place-holder" during certain public excursions/appearances so that she can feel safer, more confident, less "out of place" or the "odd one out", etc.

Placebeau Effect

Occurs when a girl thinks she has found a man that will make all her dreams come true. It doesn't matter about reality--because she views him as her 'beau'--she becomes oblivious to his shortcomings and is totally enamored with the smallest of things. Even a one-word text message becomes loaded with meaning for her.

(Girl looks at her phone and smiles, all dreamy-eyed)

Roommate: what's up? You look tooooo happy...

Girl: oh nothing, I just got the sweetest text from Cedric!

Roommate: (cynically) Really! What pearl of wonderfulness did he say, if you don't mind my asking..

Girl: (with stars in her eyes) he said "Sup!"

Roommate: (muttering quietly) It's the friggin' placebeau effect at work again...

trucker's tan

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.
