Pullin' a Joaquin 

Its when you've graduated a shit long time ago, and are almost 30, and come back to high school to get with the younger bitches, because you were not accepted into uni.

Pullin' a Joaquin is a very desperate move, as it is a sign that you have

a) not achieved anything in life
b) do not have bitches to fuck with in your life
c) probably still a virgin
Conversation:

Me: Yo, whats this nigger doing here, didn't he graduate like 5 years ago?
Other person: Yeah man, but don't sweat it, he's only pullin' a Joaquin, so his come back to get with our bitches.
Me: Well, I guess im not mad now as he is almost 30 and has not achieved anything in his life. I know im not going to be pullin' a Joaquin when I graduate.

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.
