A spankist is any person who has a propensity to administer spanking as their preferred form of corporal punishment. A spankist (or spanki, plural) is usually an adult who performs the spank on a young child. Spanki are most often parents or family relatives, with daycare givers or babysitters being less common examples. An elementary school teacher was once considered to be the defining institutionalized spankist, but this practice has largely abated since the Post-war era.

"As a spankist, I believe that time-out is an ineffective punishment."

One theme considered for an episodic arc for the Maury Povich Show was "You Spankist!: A focus on potentially unethical spanking."

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.
