a west of Scotland colloquialism for a cheap, fortified wine, usually Buckfast Tonic Wine. For some unknown reason, drinkers of "singin' ginger" want to befriend total strangers, not by attempting to have a conversation with them, but by singing incoherently. "Ginger" is another colloquialism used by the indigenous peoples of Glasgow. This refers to soft (carbonated) drinks, such as Barr's Irn Bru, and fortified wines are perceived as "grown-up's ginger". Hence, over-enthusiastic indulgence of alcohol causes the GINGER to make one want to sing.

See that wee alky bam?.. He's single-fished oan the singin' ginger!

Singin' In The Rain

If you refer to other songs or the song itself, it's not this. This Singin' In The Rain refers to the 1952 musical film by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen. Kelly stars as Don Lockwood and Debbie Reynolds as Kathy Selden. Don meets Kathy while escaping from his fans and suddenly fell in love on Kathy. Another character, Lina (played by Jean Hagen) has troubles with the sharp tune of her voice. Cosmo (played by Donald O'Connor) and Don decide to dub her, using Kathy's voice, to save her movie. The film received widespread acclaim and praised the performances. National Film Registry marks the film as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Gene Kelly's dance in the rain became iconic. Another film, A Clockwork Orange used the song by Gene Kelly.

"I'm singin' in the rain, just singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling and I'm happy again."

trucker's tan

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

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.

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.
