Decibelic 

Something that is very loud, any sound that is voluminous, i.e. has lots of volume. We measure sound using units known as decibels. A decibel is one-tenth of a bel, which represents a logarithm of a ratio. For instance, a jet engine is about 120 decibels. It is therefore decibelic.
Dude, this concert is so decibelic, I think I'm gonna have to go outside before I go deaf!

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.
