Swayz-fu 

Bad-ass noun. Pronounced "Sways-foo."

A style of kung fu for the conscientious, considerate combat artist. This master of eastern philosophy and western cool can kick ass in all walks of life - be it on (or with) his surfboard, falling out of a plane and fighting in mid-air, serving in the army (where he never quite gives in to the collective jarhead identity of his fellow soldiers), sniping commies in the mountains, driving long-haul trucks, bouncing for roadside bars or even making pottery from beyond the grave - while showing just enough softness to let those around him know he'd rather be meditating, accepting the energy of waves or bedding major babes.

A word of warning, should you come across a learned pretty-boy disciple of Swayz-fu, do not underestimate or test said disciple, and most importantly, do not join forces with forces of corruption to bring him down, cuz he'll rip your fuckin' throat out with a lightning fast cobra strike.
Ex. 1: After performing a touching dance routine with a formerly awkward, newly confident teenage girl, an anonymous greaseball punk was foolish enough to question the sexual orientation of the softshoeing creator of the legendary Swayz-fu while also making an aggressive pass at the girl. He was rewarded accordingly with a destructive palm to the nose and a crunching knee to the groin.

Ex. 2: Should you live only to get radical, the way of Swayz-fu is the one true path. 100% pure adrenaline.

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.

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.
