Closet Republican

The kinda guy who lives on the East or West coast (usually high income) and reluctantly votes for the Republicans mostly because he doesn’t want to pay the Democrat’s proposed taxes. He often goes to great lengths to appease his liberal friends in conversation and not let them know who he voted for.
“That guy is such a closet Republican, there’s no way he’s pro taxes with a house like that.”
“He’s such an obvious appeaser, like some closet Republican trying to fit in.”

Closet Republican

The kind of guy who votes Republican solely because he doesn't want to pay for the other party's new tax hike or other such social expense. Usually a high-income earner who lives in a coastal city and will go to great lengths to not reveal his vote to his more liberal friends. Sometimes he'll even build a superficial pro-this or that persona just to fit in with whatever his friends claim to support, some of whom may be just "fitting in" themselves.
"There's no way a guy with a house and a job like that would support the new tax bill, he's probably just a closeted Republican."
"I don't know about you but that little speech of his sounded so forced and generic, like something a closet Republican would say just to impress people..."

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.
