n.

Anyone who works with or has expertise in anything technical. Techanics, much like their sibling the 'mechanic', are placed in situations of similar power with regards to screwing you over monetarily without you even knowing.

Most of us have a techanic we go to that we can trust when we have questions about building a website, or buying a computer so when we go shopping we won't get gouged on the prices.
I went to best buy to purchase a new computer, but the techanic up there just kept trying to sell me features I didn't think I needed, and quoted me a $2999 on a new basic system!

Josh, my techanic, says Web 2.0 is overrated.

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.
