Bellignorance 

A condition of belligerent ignorance, which may be either acute, chronic or terminal.

Most often - though certainly not exclusively - it is a condition displayed by persons who regard themselves as "straight white heterotypical males," or who have at least been socialized as "straight white heterotypical males."

There is no known cure, and treatment options are limited.

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.
