Originates from the SED and subsequently the Perl construct for a regular expression substitution: s/REGEXP/SUBST/ will replace whatever matches REGEXP with SUBST. Commonly used in chat contexts by people with a Unix background and/or wannabe hax0rs to either correct their own previous typoes, or change the meaning of somebody else's statement.
Many people also tend to drop the final slash, either because they're lazy or because they don't really know where that expression comes from.

4chan's "Sexy Beautiful Women" image board. Possibly the greatest place for a man (or lesbian) to be.
You can find almost ANY picture of sexy women, to almost underage to swim suits to even the (boring) beautiful face threads. I mean this from the bottom of my manly soul, they have the SEXIEST pictures here. It may take a little bit of searching to match your tastes, but it is MORE than worth it. I mean it when I say I've never faped so much in my entire life.
I'm basically a newfag to 4chan, but from what I've seen it has a fast post rate. Unlike other boards, 4 out of 5 times you will go in and come out very satisfied. Hardly any disturbing images from what I've seen.
I think the best things on the board are the high concentration of amateur pics (good for those who are tired of fake pornstar pics) and the huge, high definition pics for that high quality fapping experience. And hey, if the thumbnail doesn't look good, then you don't have to click it.
So if you don't want to pay a subscription to some expensive porn site but still want a huge variety of sexy pics of women, hop on over to /s/. Lurkers and regulars alike LOVE it and I have to admit most of the women on here are GORGEOUS.

Added to the end of a word to make a singular possesive (or sometimes a plural possesive with words whose plurals do not end with S, such as people) or a contraction with "is" or "has". Poorly-educated people/foreigners tend to use it for plurals and verbs, but that usage is incorrect.
-Correct-
Bob's cat is black.
Bob's going to the store.
Bob's gone to the store to get his cat some food.
------------
-Incorrect-
Cat's are fluffy animals.
Bob has a cat that overeat's.
Bob's cat is black.
Bob's going to the store.
Bob's gone to the store to get his cat some food.

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.

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.
