Slang British word for a car driver who is adept at rat running - navigating to a destination by avoiding major roads and only using minor residential roads and cut throughs, via the use of advanced local or route knowledge and Sat Nav.

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.
