Badger Expert

A person, usually but by no means always a man, who can be relied upon to hijack any topic of conversation to parade their own knowledge of the subject, however sketchy that might be.

Examples:

Person: This is a great sandwich, is there avocado in here?
Badger Expert: I know a bloke who imports avocados and he was saying that the harvest this year is very poor because of new water extraction rules (continues interminably)

Person: I heard David bought a boat now he has a new job
Badger Expert: I’ll tell you about owning a boat; my mate has two up on the East coast and he says the most interesting thing is (continues at length)

Person: There was a dead badger on the road outside my house this morning
Badger Expert: Badgers, is it now? I read a long blog by the fellow in charge of gassing badgers for the Environment Agency and the thing most people don’t realise is (continues, possibly with diagrams)
For God’s sake don’t mention beekeeping to Julia’s dad, he’s a noted badger expert

I was just telling Merlin about that house we looked at and I got twenty minutes of badger expertise on the finer points of property law

Badger Game

A version of the Murphy Game, a confidence trick used to gain money and valuables from a victim. Basically a combination of extortion and strong arm robbery.

A male and female team carries out this con. The female entices a male mark, preferably a married business man, to come back to her apartment or hotel room. The mark thinks he is going to have sexual relations with her. She gets her victim to start disrobing.

At some point her male accomplice (often her boyfriend or husband) bursts into the room (outside door, from another room, or a closet). He threatens to beat up the victim and/or to tell his wife if he doesn't hand over his money and possibly any jewelry in his possession.
The detective wasn't buying the victim's story about being held up in a dark alley. He knew a local bar fly and her boyfriend were using the badger game to rob out of town businessmen like this poor slob.
