Something that is very common to observe Mensa (high IQ) members doing when discussing a topic. They'll start off on one topic, but will usually veer off topic several times in rapid succession and end up talking about something totally different than when they started. This can happen within first few minutes of the discussion.
Damn! John is chasing the rabbit down the hole again!

Chasing the white rabbit is a governmental term, in which we use to describe peoples fascination with chasing down the truth, following leads, even if it takes them down a path of deception. The Department of Defense knows that people will investigate stories overheard in the public or talked about in popular media or locations, and so we can create pools of fabricated beliefs in society, by putting misinformation out in the public about specific subjects. We call it chasing the white rabbit when we create a cover story, that leads a person down a path to misunderstanding. We create thousands of cover stories to deliberately throw off the public, and to fabricate wide spread confusion about anything the government is doing or even things the government is not doing, so that everyone is confused and tricked into not believing something they hear or leads them to having false beliefs about something.
Example: The government recently tested a directed-energy weapon to blanket the United States in snow, as part of a weather control operation. In order to divert peoples attention from the methods of how we did it, we created several cover stories that the snow was chemically created or made of nanobots, which had people literally burning snow and trying to explain why it turned black and didn't melt on live TV. In their endless pursuit of understanding this problem, the public engaged in chasing the white rabbit, completely wasting their time and never getting to the truth. Everyone then dismissed the claims as mere conspiracy theories, when in fact the snow was really manufactured, just using different means (we used a directed energy weapon to redirect cold air from Alaska, diverting the jet stream, among other classified methods).

In fact, the CIA was tied to developing weapons to do just this last year by popular sources of news like Fox News.

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.
