A restaurant, or fine eating establishment which begs you to question the risk/reward of their deliciousness of food vs. the time it takes for you to completely shit your pants after eating. "Shart Houses," usually refer to "Short Order," restaurants where the food is questionably prepared by often unsavory employees; however, the food tastes so good you don't care if you blow your o-ring and completely ruin your trousers.
Example 1: "Let's go eat at John's restaurant. That place is a REAL shart house."
Conversation:
Friend 1: "All that's open now is that shart house, John's."
Friend 2: "Fuck it, let's go."
Friend 1: "We can order a bowl rattler special."
A place to live if you want to encounter selfish and inconsiderate strangers who make loud noises at any hour of the night, don’t do any cleaning, hog the kitchen and living room, will be on phone calls all hours of the night, make mess and expect you to clean it, will use the couch as their personal clothing line, steal your milk and have their drunk friends running around the house naked. The other occupants apparently don’t know the definition of the word share
“Living with my family can be so annoying sometimes”
“Well it’s a lot better than living in a sharehouse”
“That’s true”

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.
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 peecalculus.
