dake-bonoism 

Though originally a term denoting an internet spoof-religion, akin to Recreational Christianity, it has, through common usage, evolved into more of a disparaging slur against jubilant fundamentalist Christians in general, and Charismatic Christians in particular. It is aimed at those whose over-simplification of Christian dogma appear to, in all actuality, complicate it. It is a way of saying "You're world-view is so far removed from conventional reality, that you are not even worth debating." Synonymn: clicker.
"I hate to condescend like this, but with your obviously Dake-Bonoist views, I may as well be discussing politics with Jimmy Swaggart."

BaoIsm belief states that everyone good or bad starts at Hell which is known as "earth" itself. Once a person passes on however, they will reform into a heaven no matter what sin's or crimes they have committed. This "heaven" will be based on what the person believed in before passing, and what their morals and values were. The heaven will then open at "gates" like in many stories and you will pass through. As many churches try to implement the same belief in thousands of people, such as Christianity. This is only to get many people under the same heaven, but it will not be the heaven that is based on the person's real beliefs that are locked under the power of the 'bible'. It may just be a conspiracy theory against churches, but it is a possible answer. Now people wonder what happen to the "bad" people, they must be tortured as well correct? Well, since their morals and beliefs was doing bad things then they will pass on to a "heaven" that is suited to them. You may call their version of "heaven" to really be a "hell", but in truth it is a "heaven" that befits their state of mind before passing. There is no written instruction or manuscript on BaoIsm, but it is written in the hearts and minds of every person.

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.
