An ableist word used to mock/insult people with disabilities.

Don't say it. Normal people know it's wrong, because it is. If you say it unironically, you're most likely a teen who does it to be cool and edgy. No, you aren't.
Person A: Says the R-Slur
Person B: Dude, don't say that.
Person A: Stop being such a snowflake and SJW!!!! It's not a slur people are just sensitive on the internet nowadays!!! Can we just go back to where times were simpler and we could've been racist and ableist without being called out?!?! Smh.
Person B: What the fuck

More from Urban Dictionary
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.
