In many MMORPG games, the term "Surgical" usually means someone is acting both cocky and n00bish, which means that the surgical person thinks they are very great, when they are a complete idiot. This originated from a player on World of Warcraft by the name of Surgical who acted this way. People often made fun of him, but Surgical would lash back in anger or mistake the insults as flattery. Insulting him soon spread to a server-wide joke, and later gained popularity elsewhere. The server this originally took place at was "Black Dragonflight"

Wow, this n00b is so surgical. Hehe, what a useless n00b.

surgical strike

When you’ve got to get in there and remove a possibly life-threatening wedgie before it spreads. In-and-out. Precise. Non-evasive. Take a little time to recover, and you’ll be good-as-new in no time.

Ralph’s Surgical Strike to his lumpy cotton briefs was deep, but precise; the only scarring it left was on the memories of those who witnessed.

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.
