Female brothel keeper. A Madame.

Etymology: Victorian underworld slang. An abbess (Latin abbatissa, fem. form of abbas, abbot) is the female superior, or Mother Superior, of an abbey or convent of nuns. Since the Elizabethan era, nun has been slang for a prostitute (ref. William Faulkner, "Requiem for a Nun"), and a nunnery referred to a brothel.
"Polly Adler, in her memoir 'A House is Not a Home,' tells of her time as the abbess of the Big Town's poshest nunnery."

Walter Winchell, 1953

Abbness desribes only one girl who happens to have the beautiful name of Abbie and who happens to epitomize hotness. She is sweet, funny, who wont just laugh at all your jokes, she keeps you honest and humble yet lifts you up in a way that makes you feel loved and respected. She will let you have your way, but is independent, responsible, and does have a little bit of a party girl in her which is all good. She is intelligent but just a little spacy to make her even cuter. She's not that great with directions, but knows where to go. She is great around people or by herself, she is Miss Abbness.
Abbie is the complete package, she is awesome and complete hotness, she is total Abbness.

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.
