the buddy system 

A system used between two or more men to help aid them in the event they are caught in an uncomfortable member of the opposite sex, particularly an unattractive and/or obese female during a party situation. When utilizing this system, the male victim will shout out "BUDDY!" and in turn the nearest member(s) of the buddy chain will come to his rescue.
Nasty party slut: Wanna get out of here?
Victim: Uh, well see...(looking around) uh, BUDDY!
Friend/Wingman (shuffles over to the rescue): So, uh John, you left your laundry downstairs. Oh, then we're up for beer pong. LETS GO.
Victim: Wow thanks man...the buddy system never fails. Did you see her snaggletooth?

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.
