A chant made by the HIV+ characters during "Life Support" in the Musical Rent. This cry means to live each day as if it were your last. Most of the characters that come across this song do not have much time to live, so the only thing they can do is (not jump over the moon you rentheads) live each day one at a time, and never look back. Used in "Life Support", "Another Day", misc. exerpts in the musical, and "Finale B".
"I live each moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret Or life is yours to miss
No other road,
No other way
No day but today."
-Another Day, sung by Mimi Marquez.

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.
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.
