the shack 

A location, usually a bedroom where a group of mates hang out. 'The Shack' is characterised by being a complete mess. A night at 'The Shack' generally consists of extensive drinking, smoking and chundering. 'The Shack' provides a relaxed environment for topics such as politics, racial issues and how awful Morrissey is to be discussed at length. Constant visitors of 'The Shack' are said to experience increasing shakiness and unsteadiness. Occasionally the shack's intoxicated host will rinse out some tunes on his flute, much to the members' applause.
dude1: whats happening tonight?
dude2: heading to the shack
dude1: ah! so we are in for a night of chundericious fun then!

The Shack 

A mythical structure that would have been placed in the backyard of the user. There would be minimal amenities inside of it; electricity, heating, cooling, seats, a table - nothing too fancy. The sides of the building, however, would have holes drilled into it so paid workers could blow "shotties" through the holes, thus helping the occupants to get "hotboxed" inside the building.

The building could also be used to have sex with girls when no other location is available. (See "Shack 'Er")

The Shack 

Just maybe one of the best books ever written about God. In my opinion it is right up there with the bible. Though the shack is fiction it fills in the gaps in the relationship with God.

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.
