Skommel 'verb' (pronounced Skoh-mil)

Originally used in the Dutch language to describe a shaking or rocking motion, the term skommel is commonly used as a slang term in South African Afrikaans to describe masturbation in a rudimentary manner.

It is a term used so frequently that it has nearly completely ousted the literal meaning of the original Dutch word from everyday language.
Joe: Tony, why do you always run away from your dog once you've finished washing him?

Tony: All that dog needs is a little bit of lube and he'll start to skommel.

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.
