widespread panic by Alecs Cook August 31, 2003

Widespread 

This is when a person spreads open their legs very very far. This is typically done on a wall or on a object (i.e. desk, table, lamp, see saw). You can also use this to describe a person or an object that looks like a person that has their legs wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeee open.
That person over yonder is very widespread

OMG she is so widespread

WTF that lamp is so widespread

Widespread Panic

Any situation where you are legs and/or cheeks akimbo and feel sudden terror, for example:

- you are getting fucked by the gardener when your psychopathic mobster husband comes home early

- the shit you are taking is so wide, long and dry you fear it might split your ring open and/or drag out some colon with it

- two guys hold you bent over a table while a third kicks your legs open in preparation for the gang that's about to ass rape and possibly kill you

- the glass jar you put up your ass for a sexual thrill suddenly breaks under the pressure
Dude have you seen one guy, one jar? Now THAT'S widespread panic.

Hearing dat I was lonesome, da cute waitress at da corner-diner promised me a "widespread occurrence", but then instead of having sex with me, she just gave me a foot-long roll with mayonnaise liberally applied to its inner surfaces! What a letdown!!!

WAV includes all broad meteorological changes and weather events such as unseasonal temperatures, droughts, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc., highlighting that what is typically known as climate change affects locales variably.
After the warmest year on record, devastating wildfires, increasing hurricane frequency and severity, Widespread Atmospheric Volatility (WAV)is impossible to deny even among the most staunch science deniers.

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.
