these ones 

A hand gesture that requires the arm to be raised to approximately head height, the three middle fingers pointing inward and the pinky finger and thumb outstreched. The hand is then quickly and repeatedly twisted from side to side. Usually seen being used on pathetic Vietnamese dancefloors by overly enthusiastic red headed losers who think the DJ's lame techno re-mix of volare, followed by 'let's get loud' by J-Lo (for the 3rd time in an hour) actually warrants the aforementioned dancefloor being labelled the "best dancefloor ever!!" The act of giving 'these ones' will be frowned upon by all except stocky quiff haired wank-a-holics who are too intoxicated to realise that the dancefloor in question would actually be less lame if the DJ spun a Nicki Webster mega-mix.
Pete - "Man, that was the best dancefloor ever! I was high fiving the DJ, and giving him these ones!" (Pete then demonstrates the act of giving 'these ones')

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.
