Bridge Card 

1. A Michigan State provided card (EBT), that is used to help provide bill money and/or food money for those in severe need who live in Michigan.

2. I thought it was called a "Bridge Card" because it helps people get from hard times across the bridge to better times. So, out of curiosity, I asked the lady behind the window about it and she said no, it's name refers to the "Mackinac Bridge"; but she thought that my idea about the card name explanation was more fitting and better though.
A picture of the Michigan Bridge Card, and it's governmental definition, etc.. can be found online through Google; but we can't post links on here, sorry.

EX: I use my DHS Bridge Card to get groceries, and w/o it I would starve.

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.
