Punkbuster 

An ancient piece of software the for some unknown reason large publishers like EA still use.

The staff at Punkbuster write their code in Java and only work on it from 9-11 am at the local community college computer lab.

The program mainly functions as a lottery system, if punkbuster works you are allowed to play the game that day.

This helps publishers pay as little as possible for servers as they force large portions of the community offline in a load balancing technique.
Punkbuster wont let me play my game online!

oooh bummer, better luck next week.

A gay ass peice of shit anti-hacking game software. If you do not know a lot about computers or you have vista, chances are if you get a game which has punkbuster enabled for multiplayer, itll give you many errors. yes punkbuster does prevent hacks and most people do not get kicked from it, but its possible that you fall into the small category of people being kicked by punkbuster daily, for no reason at all.

"No, I keep getting kicked by lame ass punkbuster."

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.
