Watch this Space

Perhaps the most annoying phrase currently used by marketing teams and YouTube influencers to convey a sense of hype and anticipation about their bullshit products or services.

Made more depressing by the realisation that there are indeed people out there, watching that space.
Peppy YouTube influence - “let’s just jump right into it guys, I’m going to be releasing some brand new mystery merch so watch this space”

Do not write in this space 

Okay, I won't jot down any letters or numbers --- but I WILL make lots of meaningless scribbly lines and ink-smudges in it, so dat YOU can't write anything in dat space, either! PPPPTHTHTHTHPPPPPT!!!
Telling someone "Do not write in this space" on a paperwork-form is virtually a guarantee that he will seethingly scrawl all kinds of infuriated gibberish in that precious little space, especially if he is feeling resentful about having to feverishly fill out the stupid form in the first place ("Whatever happened to the Paperwork-Reduction Act?!"), just as posting a "No Smoking" sign or putting up a "Keep Off The Grass" placard often results in an INCREASE in said unwanted activity, rather than lessening it!

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.
