The Area 

Highly multicultural inhabitants of Australia. "The Area" represents the suburb or inner city where a person is from. In general everyone has their own "Area". The Area is generally made up of diverse cultural groups which in turn helps provide Acculturation and Integration within the district.

Similar to North America's Hood and U.K's The Endz although not as rough. 'The Area' bubbles with talent and gifted individuals which face struggles of finding their way out or getting trapped with the wrong crowd.

Referred to places are often within Western Sydney, such as Bankstown, Campbelltown, Blacktown, Burwood, Parramatta to name a few Area's.

dodgeball corollary to the area code rule 

If you are a guy belonging to a dodgeball league in one metropolitan area, you may not substitute on a team in another league in that area that you did not join at the start of the season. The minute you enter a different metro area you in effect become a dodgeball rookie, allowing you to substitute on another team.
We need to crash Boogie's party:) Thanks the the dodgeball corollary to the area code rule, the sub rule shouldn't apply if we leave the county, lol!

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.
