Crew Chief 

Someone in the military who spends 12-15 hours a day fixing the pieces of junk he or she is expected to keep in top shape for the snooty pilots to fly, while getting paid the same as the guy sitting in the office across the flightline who goes home every day at 4, whether or not his work is done. Crew chiefs possess a finely tuned sense of smartassedness, several bags of scrounge and the unwillingness to put up with stupid people. They are what keeps the aircraft in the air and the bars around the base in business.
"We need another crew chief in on this engine change. You've only been here 9 hours, get to work."

Air Force Crew Chief 

Some Air Force fuckwad that thinks that he is so smart and cool because he gets to put his name on the side of a jet which thinks the only way it is capable of flying his because of his hard work of sitting inside for 2 hours bitching about IMDS and then going out to his jet, taking off a couple of covers,jerking off the pilot,and waiving his hands in the air thinking that the pilot is really moving in the direction that he is telling him too. Once the pilot takes off he throws in a pinch of Skoal Wintergreen and walks down the flightline like he rescued the fucking President of the United States. Then 1.5 hours later he waives his hands in the air again and then sucks off the pilot for one last time of the day and then fuels it, changes a tire and pretends to look at the engine like he really knows what the fuck he is doing. Does this sound a little familiar to you civilians??? It should, it's the same job as the piece of white trash that works at your local gas station and fills up your car with gas, checks your fluids, and rotates your tires.

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.
