Smoke the feds

Smoke the Feds
To engage in a high-speed police chase, out-driving and evading the authorities to get away, either solo or with friends, often while smoking a spliff and blasting loud music. The driver might be in a high-performance car, like a Golf R, or a old banger, sometimes stolen or uninsured, unroadworthy, and possibly driven without a license. They could also be riding dirty or involved in criminal activity, like a robbery.

The driver might be intoxicated, over the legal limit for alcohol or drugs. During the chase, they might wipe fingerprints, use hazard lights to signal to the police to move aside, lock the doors, and speed off. They might also film the chase to post on social media or share with friends, turning it into a viral video.

If caught, the driver risks prison time, losing their license, a long driving ban, or even causing a fatal accident.

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.
