Striped shirt girl energy 

~Somebody who vocally stands up for members of the LGBTQ+ community when in extremely large groups where it would be easier to just let the moment silently pass unchallenged.

This phrase came about when a BYU student (wearing a striped shirt) spoke up in a religion lecture. The prof was going on about how the world is transgressing the laws of marriage. homegirl raises her hand “well what about Eve? She had to choose between two commandments in order to keep the one of them—what if that’s true for others?” & prof tries to sidestep like “oh yeah I’m sure—like Nephi &—“ BUT SHES LIKE “No, I mean like the LGBTQ community-“ but prof interrupts her to say that people who “struggle with same-sex attraction have a difficult situation” but homegirl straight up LAUGHS! so he says “& I do say struggle, because it is a struggle” & goes on to say how much he “respects those who still keep the law of chastity” Homegirl is not having it. She interrupts him back & says that she believes the LGBTQ community could be like Eve & how they’re supposed to know which commandment they’re supposed to keep (marriage or chastity)

There is an interruption from a male student who is attempting to tell her ‘this is not the place for this’ & she should leave. Prof then gives the typical “we don’t have all the answers” bit, to which homegirl is like ”EXACTLY so we can’t tell them how to live & we’re supposed to love one another” & IMMEDIATELY after that the bell rang & everybody got the hell out of there
Person 1: did you see that video where the Tennessee county official was making homophobic comments?

Person 2: oh the one where Commissioner Warren Hurst said "We got a queer running for president, if that ain't about as ugly as you can get.”

1: yeah, and then that lady that stood up after his comments and yelled that was bullshit and then left

2: yeah, That woman had MAJOR striped shirt girl energy <3

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.
