Yasslighting 

A pun based off the term gaslighting when a person or group of persons (typically a comment section) blatantly lie to gas up an ugly person trying to pull off a look they shouldn't with "yasss queen slay girl boss" energy. Typically this will be skinny girls telling fat girls they look amazing in skintight revealing outfits complimenting their "confidence" so that they can look better in comparison or handmaidens and trans people telling other trans people how awesome and feminine they look in anime outfits they got off wish or masculine they look while still in makeup, jewelry, and neon hair dye.
Did you see all the yasslighting going on in the comments of that Lizzo post?

Yea it was almost as bad watching Dylan Mulvaney and that other trans person on his tick tock with all the facial hair telling each other how great they are at girlhood

Yassel by Ouama March 19, 2019
Literally the most amazing person on planet Earth. If you're sad, look for a Yashal, and she'll make you smile even if you don't want to. Take care of a Yashal. She's very vulnerable and words can hurt her easily. Yashal is also one of the most childish bitches you'll ever meet. She has very good grades and a kind, sweet, funny personality. An interesting fact about a Yashal is that she's a slow eater. You know those mini Mars bars, it takes her ten minutes to finish one, so... if you know a Yashal, you have to be patient with her
Person 1: Hey, who got the highest mark in the English test last week?
Person 2: Didn't you hear, it's Yashal
Person 1: Oh, of course it is...

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.
