Rotten Individual 

The term "Rotten Individual" is most commonly used to declare that one is an avid fan of jedcest in spite of Kevin Grimes, to refer to jedcestors in general, or to make fun of Kevin Grimes as he has now became the fandom's lolcow.

This term gained notoriety amongst fans of Jedward after Kevin Grimes (the twin's older brother) was sent a link to a livejournal containing jedcest fanfictions written by one of the jedward fans. Kevin Grimes posted angry tweets (eg. "Have a read of this Disgusting vulgarity and then tell me Im wrong ,what is wrong with these people damn") declaring that he "knew the law" and that anyone who posted or liked this type of material was a "rotten individual".
Kevin Grimes later deleted the tweets, but not before followers were able to copy and post them to many the outraged tumblr account.

This incident was the start a series of events involving the photographing of John Grimes holding up a sign reading "I love Rotten Individuals" by the creator of the same livejournal account, then being blocked by the Jedward twins' twitter account, later being publicly shamed on a small scale based on her conflict with Kevin Grimes in front of Jedward and their fans, and by the mysterious but widely unpopular Randers.

This unfolded while a significant number of "Jedheads" watched on via the internet, creating a rift in fandom as quite the few fans are "rotten individuals". There are varying degrees of animosity towards either party within the fandom.
"Bio: 18, F, Sweden, Rotten Individual."

"I am not Randers. I repeat, I AM NOT RANDERS. Whoever says I am Randers is an evil person and a rotten individual." - Kevin Grimes

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.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
