The Fork Of Justice 

Originally an amusing and unique handle for chat rooms and games (originally MINE that is) which has become a comical (and increasingly widespread) way to 'poke' fun at evildoers, trolls or any one of life's petty annoyances within newsgroups, chat rooms and blogs.

It's main purpose is to dismiss annoying arguments, people and situations in a civilized manner without resorting to flaming, net hooliganism or other kinds of embarrassing behaviour.

A way of saying "this little thing will not get me down".

The use of the "Fork Of Justice" ranges from literally using a fork to poke the offending party (in chat), posting a picture of a fork in a thread or blog, or as a comical over-played super hero roleplay.
"I am The Fork Of Justice! I stabbeth thee with my Progs OF Truth!"

"You have been poked with The Fork of Justice. Troll."

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.
