2-methyl-2-butanol 

2-methyl-2-butanol is a tertiary alcohol which is 20 times stronger than regular ethanol (alcohol). 2-methyl-2-butanol doesn't produce aldehydes as a metabolite and instead, produces 2-methyl-2-butanyl gluconoride and 2-methyl-2,3-butanediol. Meanwhile, ethanol produces acetaldehyde, a moderately toxic aldehyde, before becoming the harmless acetic acid. As a result, there is no hangover from 2-methyl-2-butanol but there is a temporary hangover from ethanol. The dose range of 2-methyl-2-butanol is 2ml to 12ml+.
2-methyl-2-butanol can be made from ethyl chloride by the grignard reaction from an ethyl magnesium chloride intermediate reacting with acetone and then a hydrochloric acid work-up.

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.
