Contact high 

The sensation of intoxication one gets from being proximate to someone who is already intoxicated, most often someone who is high on hallucinogenic drugs. This is not necessarily from the second-hand smoke of marijuana, as is often suggested, but moreso it is the feeling of being disconcerted by an intoxicated person's actions, gestures, word usage, perspiration and pupil dilation.
"I saw Jamie at the bar last night, he'd just dropped like 4 hits of acid, he was jumbling his words and his pupils were huge, I got contact high just talking to him."

contact high 

When a person supposedly gets high from the second-hand smoke that results from being in close proximity to people who are smoking drugs-usually weed- without actually participating in the act of smoking

contact high 

A contact high is typically what is referred to when a person who is not smoking an illegal substance is near others who are and becomes high from inhaling the smoke that is in the air. It is, afterall, the inhaling of the drug that causes the high. Smoke does not differntiate between the person actually doing the smoking and those who are nearby not participating. Additionally, the term is now being used to describe other non illegal drug use situations.
If you take a sub-lingual medication and then kiss someone they will be absorbing that medication through their tongue just as you had and result in a contact high. Or the use of larger inhalers used for vasodialation, as in asthma, or the like, can also cause others in the room to have their lungs affected as a result. Not all of the drug, in any of these circumstances, is completely absorbed by the intended user and therefore can and often does affect a bystander.

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.
