Chandleritus 

'Chandleritus' or 'Chandler Disease' Is a condition named after the Chandler character on the American sitcom 'Friends'. The effects of this incurable disease can be very severe. It is the need to make a joke out of everything that is happening, and having a serious attitude for only 3 minutes at a time. As a long term sufferer of this awful condition, I find it increasingly more and more difficult to keep a steady job, or to even pass the interview. So for as little as £3 a month, you can help ease the pain of this illness.
Me: On the way to this interview, I saw a guy who looked smarter dressed than me and I panicked a little, but he went the other way.
Interviewer: No, you look fine.
Me: Oooh hello, you look fine to you handsome devil. Sorry I have Chandleritus

Friend: My nan just died.
Me: Where there's a will...there's a way, congratulations. The drinks are on you I assume?
Friend: It's a good job I don't have Chandleritus, I need to write the eulogy.

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.
