A type of music comprised of 8-bit music and sounds and sometimes modern day percussion, resembling old video games, and is always compiled in an extremely upbeat melody that makes you want to shoot rainbows out of your mouth.
John: Hey bro, I heard this one type of music on a music thread last night, but I don't know what it's called. You know it?

Brian: What did it sound like?

John: It sounded like it was from a really old video game. It sounded kind of 8-bit-ish and it was REALLY catchy and upbeat and it made me want to fly a super-sonic jet through mountains of icy fire and then make the jet transform into a space shuttle and rocket into space at the speed of light and then explode into a plethora of rainbows and anti-matter stars that would collide with other stars and teleport me to an infinite number of parallel universes.

Brian: Yeah you were listening to chiptune.

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.
