self-absorbed

1. An adjective that describes practically every human being alive with only a few exceptions. I mean, who thinks about other people more than their needs? If you're living in a 3rd world country, suffering constantly or have less than a week to live, you probably aren't going to bitch, moan and remind everyone else of your suffering as much as some asshat kid with 2 tests on the same day! (BLASHPEMY! 2 TESTS?? And HOMEWORK on top of that?? IN-JUST-ICE!!)

2. What to call people, when at lost for words, who enter their own name at Urbandictionary.com with a lengthy paragraph telling readers why (self-absorbed asshat) loves him/herself.
Oh my goodness, it's just a QUIZ. And EVERY-FRICKING-PERSON who went to school got HOMEWORK ASSIGNED TO THEM. How about instead of bitching to me about your trivial "problems", you DO your homework and stop calling me!!

self-absorbed

A condition where there are two possiblities. you have either simple haughtiness and arrogance, the more commonly implied meaning. however there are those who have an equally obnoxious affect, but which comes not from pride, rather their constant exclusive occupation with their own feelings. Theirs is not the slight narcissism of the former, rather one who has a graduated notion of the sanctity of their own emotions.
Every time I open my mouth, the guy cringes at some perceived insult or lack of regard for his notion of social delicacy. I find when he finally opens his mouth that he is not totally without compassion, but just that his compassion extends mostly to himself, that he is self-absorbed, and frankly, wretched.

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.
